Engineering and Construction Bulletin
Projects, in engineering and construction, have huge potential worldwide. The increasingly global demand for infrastructure, power generation and process plants alone is enormous. Uncertainties in the engineering process, combined with economic pressures that lead to work being commenced before plans are finalised, cause potential difficulties for operators in the industry.
Lovells boasts one of the longest-standing construction and engineering practices of any major international firm. Our key strengths are our size, experience and specialisation, which allow us to offer expert and competitive advice.
We represent clients in domestic and cross border deals and disputes. Our reputation and potential reach in breadth of coverage and expertise is unparalleled. Apart from our practices in the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Hong Kong, we have a special ability to advise on projects in Eastern Europe and the Far East, where German investment and UK contracting approaches frequently combine.
Recent years have seen increasingly non-adversarial contracting arrangements. The uncertainties in the construction world mean that disputes are still likely to occur. Guiding clients through their choice of dispute resolution procedures is an increasingly important aspect of our work.
We have considerable experience of acting in high profile and commercially sensitive disputes, and were the first firm to act in a construction arbitration under the ICSID rules.
