Project Service & Maintenance Advice
Early specialist legal advice during each of these key phases of the project lifecycle allow our clients to enhance their project delivery and business goals.
It manages legal and commercial project risk by suggesting preferred terms in the construction contract. Early contractual advice leads to the development of project management and contract administration practices that align with the terms of the construction contract.
Unclear or unfair contract terms create uncertainty and expose parties to disputes. A lack of understanding of contract management has the same effect. Early advice manages these risks and assists to ensure project cashflow with reduced legal liability during the course of the project.
Troy Legal conducts thorough contract reviews and provides advice on suitable amendments and negotiates these amendments to key commercial terms on your behalf.
Obtaining advice as to the project structure and type of contract is a critical first step. Usually clients will be informed by who and what has come before. Getting detailed bespoke advice to ensure your contractual framework best suits the operational and financial structure of your project is critical. Integration of the separate commercial agreements is also critical. Using the preferred construction contract for delivery (e.g. D&C, GMP, EPC, Cost Plus, Rates & Fixed Price) is an important primary consideration.
Overly complicated project structures and incorrect forms of contract can lead to confusion, delays, and disputes. The simplest form of contract that provides the greatest certainty for the parties is the preferred form of construction contract, providing that the project operational and financial structure is met in the background.
We advise on optimal delivery structures and supporting contractual documentation to ensure that the parties rights and obligations are clearly defined and minimise scope for uncertainty.
