Construction

The face of construction and engineering in South Africa and the rest of Africa has changed exponentially. Accordingly, the calibre of construction and engineering lawyers has needed to change – and Werksmans has remained ahead of the curve by crafting our Construction & Engineering Practice into a tight-knit team of dedicated experts, whose sole focus is on offering the client unrivalled service.

Recently, the case for investing in infrastructure projects has gained momentum. Projects have become bigger and increasingly complex, from a technical and regulatory perspective. To help navigate these challenges, role players require specialist lawyers with detailed legal knowledge – combined with commercial awareness and depth of experience. Werksmans’ construction and engineering lawyers are known for having the required business acumen, technical know-how and combined industry experience to grasp opportunities and resolve regulatory obstacles for clients as they arise – and often before.

Our multi-disciplinary team comprises experts with a proven understanding of the construction and engineering sectors covering several practice areas. This enables us to grasp the needs and concerns of all stakeholders in the value chain, ranging from employers, contractors and sub-contractors, to professional teams and specialist consultants.
