Construction

We know that each engineering and construction project is unique and presents its own legal challenges – challenges that we are there to resolve for you. ZEILER has a particular focus on the engineering and construction industry. Our extensive experience enables us to understand the specific legal and technical complexities which arise in this sector.

We have worked on all sorts of construction and engineering projects, from infrastructure projects such as power plants or railways to the construction and engineering of industrial plants and housing projects. We understand the contractual mechanisms behind such projects, and regularly give advice on FIDIC and other standard contracts.

We have a comprehensive understanding of all sorts of disputes that arise from such projects and can successfully navigate claims from all phases of a project, starting from expert determination and dispute board proceedings to arbitration and litigation proceedings.
