Construction

Guiding Clients Through Every Stage of Construction and Infrastructure Projects

Our construction law practice supports clients throughout the project lifecycle, from structuring the contract framework and managing delivery risk to resolving disputes efficiently when issues escalate. We have advised various prominent developers, contractors, consultants and other stakeholders on complex construction and infrastructure matters with practical, commercially focused guidance grounded in project and cashflow realities.

 

At the front end, we draft, review and negotiate construction and engineering documentation, including bespoke arrangements and major standard forms (PWD, PAM and FIDIC). We work closely with project teams to align procurement strategy, risk allocation, payment mechanisms, variations, EOT regimes, security instruments and dispute resolution provisions, ensuring contracts are workable on site and robust if challenged.

 

During delivery, we provide ongoing project advisory and contract administration support from procurement and tender through completion, including claims preparation, EOT and variation assessments, certification and payment issues.

 

When disputes arise, we represent clients in CIPAA 2012 adjudication, mediation, domestic and international arbitration, and court proceedings, including urgent interim relief, performance bond and retention disputes, and enforcement of awards and judgments.

 

Our Construction practice is led by our Partner, Ankit R. Sanghvi, an experienced dispute counsel with specialised construction law and adjudication credentials.
