Legal support for construction companies: the role of a lawyer (advocate) in construction disputes
Running a construction business involves numerous legal and legal aspects that require the attention of specialists. Each stage of construction, starting from design and obtaining permits and ending with the commissioning of the facility, is subject to a variety of regulatory risks. That is why high-quality legal support is the most important factor in the successful operation of a construction company.
One of the key areas of legal support in construction is construction disputes. Construction projects are characterized by complexity, multiple participants and stages, which increases the likelihood of conflict situations. Disputes can arise at any stage of construction — from the conclusion of a contract with the contractor to the commissioning of the facility.
When is a construction dispute lawyer needed?
- Conclusion and execution of contracts. The relationship between customers, contractors and subcontractors is often accompanied by questions about the execution of contracts. A lawyer will help you correctly draw up and verify contracts, which will reduce the likelihood of future disputes.
- Violation of deadlines or quality of work. One of the frequent causes of conflicts in construction is the violation of the deadlines for the completion of the object or the non-compliance of the work performed with established standards. A construction dispute lawyer will not only represent the client’s interests in court, but will also help resolve the conflict at the pre-trial settlement stage.
- Resolving issues with government agencies. Obtaining permits for the construction and commissioning of an object may be delayed due to bureaucratic delays or non-compliance of project documentation with standards. A lawyer will help speed up the process of obtaining all necessary permits and avoid legal risks.
- Arbitration disputes. Construction companies often face arbitration proceedings on various issues: from the collection of penalties for violation of the terms of the contract to disputes with contractors. A competent lawyer will help not only prepare the necessary evidence and documents, but also develop a strategy to protect the interests of the client.
What does legal support for construction companies include?
Legal support is not just a solution to one—time problems, but a comprehensive service that includes:
- Legal audit of projects. Analysis of project and contract documentation for legal risks.
- Support of transactions and contracts. Development, verification and approval of contracts at all stages of construction.
- Representation in arbitration. Protection of the company’s interests in legal disputes related to the fulfillment of contractual obligations and construction works.
- Obtaining permits and licenses. Consultations on obtaining construction permits, licenses and commissioning of facilities.
