Documentation and procurement

We advise on, draft and negotiate clear, concise and practical documents which clearly allocate risk and reduce the potential for disagreement. We deal with the full range of standard forms, amendments and bespoke contracts.

Whether it is drafting project correspondence, "suiteing contracts" or creating and negotiating complex bespoke commercial contracts and project finance, we have the expertise to provide a commercially-aware outcome.

From the outset of a project, we help clients define what they want to achieve with:

• procurement options
• contract preparation and negotiation
• document appraisal and risk analysis
• partnering and framework agreements
• facilities management.

We help clients comply with increasingly complex European Union directives and publicly-funded tendering procedures. We understand the intricacies of international contract law. Our expertise helps make a sophisticated procurement methodology work in different legal and business environments.

Risk and project audits: When appropriate, we undertake a project audit which sets out which processes worked well and which did not. We then recommend steps the client should take to make future projects run smoothly. We can also provide a second opinion or risk audit on existing claims or disputes.
