Developers

Building contracts are the blueprints for success or failure. Developers enter into these contracts with many parties including contractors, banks, consultants and other agencies.

Good contracts are therefore vital and it is important you take good legal advice at the outset to minimise any potential errors. We can provide all the advice you need on watertight contracts which will determine who is responsible for which elements of the project and what they can charge.

Our team is highly experienced in this area of the industry. We know how it operates and can guide you safely through to success. We can also help you with insurance, joint ventures, innovations, procurement, project team contracts, project management, risk management, step-in rights and collateral warranties. 

Where a development is for investment we can ensure it results in an attractive package for selling or leasing on. If funding is required we can anticipate what the bank will look for and make sure everything is in place before it is required.

With publicly funded projects developers may need to comply with EU procurement legislation. We can also help with Procurement Regulations for Public Service Contracts, Public Supply Contracts and Public Works Contracts.

Our team also advises on dealing with contractors to ensure they build exactly what is wanted, on time and for the right price. And while our aim is to avoid problems or settle them amicably, you can be sure that when it is necessary we will fight your corner with the greatest vigour.
