Issues facing the construction sector

As projects become increasingly complex and technical due to, for example, various regulatory regimes or sustainability issues, you require lawyers with geographical spread, an understanding of these issues and, sometimes, people with expertise in more than one jurisdiction. You need advisers who understand the latest technologies, different types of funding and new ways of working. You want people who have been there and done that on the biggest and most complex jobs, and can use that experience to your advantage on your project.

How we can help you

We have a reputation as a leader in legal advice for the construction and engineering industry in South Africa. The firm has extensive experience on Fidic and NEC contract forms and handles all aspects of construction and engineering transactions.  

Our philosophy is to encourage dispute avoidance and to achieve this, we should ideally be involved from the start of the construction process to assist in the identification and allocation of risk between contracting parties.  

When problems do arise, we have the experience and resources to manage complex disputes within the range of dispute resolution processes, which include mediation, adjudication, litigation and arbitration.  

Our strength is to provide effective solutions to what would otherwise be expensive and time consuming problems.
