Contractors 
The contractor is usually the man in the middle. Not only are you responsible for satisfying the requirements of demanding developers and managing projects to tight specifications, but also having to re-apply that pressure down the line to sub-contractors and all those responsible for carrying out the day-to-day work.   
We provide advice on Bonds, Contracts, Collateral Warranties, Facility Letters, Insurance, Guarantees, Insurance, Joint Ventures, Novations, Procurement, Project Finance, Project Team contracts, Project Management, Risk Management, Step in Rights, and Warranties.
Your risks are potentially higher than other parties in construction agreements. Our role is to make sure that the risks you take on are the sort that you can manage. Where collateral warranties are required we will make sure you are not over-exposed and can help you through the pain. We can draft sub-contract conditions to ensure your workforce keeps pace with the project.

We are experts in managing risks. In all contracts you enter into we can make your position that little bit more comfortable, taking the gamble out of building contracts and safeguarding your work and your reputation.

We fully understand the quirks of the industry and will work with you to help achieve a quality build to the developers requirements as well as turning a profit for yourselves.

Problems do happen. We can help you find a commercial solution by deploying the best arguments for you. If no other avenue is open we will pursue or defend your rights through Dispute Resolution, Adjudication, Arbitration, Court action, Litigation, Negotiation or Mediation. We can assist your Cash-flow by helping you get paid.

The sooner you speak to us, the more help we can be. Starting with a blank sheet gives us more scope, keeps costs down and improves your negotiating position. Getting it right first time is cheaper and quicker than dealing with a problem. Involve us from the beginning to avoid these problems.
