The Clyde & Co approach to construction work is unique. Our integrated team works cross-departmentally with tax, banking and property lawyers to enable us to be genuinely partner-led. This multi-disciplinary, generalist approach to both contentious and transactional work, means we understand all the angles of any commercial matter.
Working across the Clyde & Co network of worldwide offices but particularly in London, Paris and the Middle East, we handle a range of multi-national construction and engineering projects. In particular, our global team has in-depth experience of major construction projects and issues. These include on-shore and off-shore energy projects, as well as ship and other maritime new buildings. We advise in relation to the drafting of the contracts, the financial aspects and disputes as and when they occur.
We handle a wide variety of construction projects in both the public and private sector for a broad cross-section of the industry. Projects tend to range in value from £10 million to £500 million but our cost-conscious approach to resourcing means all our projects are economically handled.
Our world-leading insurance practice means that we have an insight into insurance issues relating to the construction industry. One high-profile example of our work was providing construction insurance advice for the new National Stadium at Wembley. This insurance expertise means that we know that our bespoke warranties will be acceptable to the industry. In addition, we have drafted the professional indemnity policies for household insurance names and are well equipped to know industry preferences.
Clyde & Co’s award winning dispute resolution team means that we can handle any manner of construction dispute. The head of our team is an approved adjudicator, and with cutting edge practices in arbitration and mediation, we bring expert legal skills to the construction industry.
Clients are mainly property developers, consultants, funders and insurers.
