Contract Procurement Negotiation
Contracts and Agreements
We provide legal, commercial and relational guidance and representation at every stage of negotiation of a deal and conduct of a dispute through court, arbitration, adjudication or alternative dispute resolution, by:-
- Drafting and negotiating Conditions of Contract (including pre-contractual declarations or non-contractual statements of intent), bonds, guarantees, warranties, and contracts to secure public funding for works
- Guiding you through the procurement process
- Working with your technical consultants and professional team to specify the works clearly
- Assisting you in structuring a project so as to allocate risk where it can best be managed
- Advising you on strategies for managing the risks allocated to you
- Helping you to manage disputes as they arise on a project and prevent them from escalating
- Negotiating on your behalf to resolve any disputes which do escalate, and bringing or defending adjudication, arbitration or court proceedings where necessary.
Our Principal, Peter Webster, and our Consultant, Anna Rabin, both have more than 10 years’ experience in London private practice as specialist construction and engineering lawyers. Anna’s expertise is primarily in drafting and negotiating development and engineering contracts, whilst Peter’s is more on the dispute resolution side. You will be in safe and experienced hands, and the quality of service that you receive will help you achieve good results that stand up well on audit.
We recognise that obtaining favourable contractual terms depends not just upon knowledge, observation and analysis, but upon effective use of commercial bargaining strength. We aim to build relationships with our commercial clients so as to ensure that our input is given at a commercially strategic time. This helps us to add real value to the commercial deal.
