Our strength lies in supporting construction, infrastructure and energy teams to negotiate complex deals more efficiently.
Services
We help to improve deal outcomes, and in turn, the performance and profitability of construction, infrastructure and energy projects, for contractors, developers, IPPs, sponsors and lenders. We do this in three ways:
- Leading in the transaction phase of projects;
- Supporting your teams in the delivery phase of projects
- Providing targeted legal and negotiation training for your teams.
Transaction phase
We know that clients are often frustrated by the time it takes to close deals; endless meetings, relentless page-turning and slow decision making. There is another way. Cut through the layers of complexity, and focus on what really matters. We improve transaction efficiency by adopting an objective led approach to solving complex issues. From inception of your project through to signature, we focus on:
- contract structuring
- tendering and evaluation
- contract drafting negotiation
- deal closure
Project delivery phase
Projects don’t always go to plan; delays, cost overruns and quality issues can throw things off course. Navigating these challenges is tough; particularly if the people on the ground didn’t negotiate the contract terms in the first place. We bolster multi-disciplinary operational teams by working closely with them to troubleshoot contract issues, minimize disputes, and keep projects on track. Covering the construction, commissioning, testing and operational phases of your project, we focus on:
- risk analysis
- contract review
- dispute avoidance
- claims support
- contract variations
Training
Not everyone gets excited about the legal stuff, but the more you understand the rationale behind the contract terms, the better your negotiation skills. We work with multi-disciplinary teams to sharpen their legal skills, with the goal of improving deal outcomes. We offer:
- one-off legal workshops
- structured legal courses
- negotiation role-plays
- multi-expert sessions
- post-close deal reviews
