Contracts and Procurement

The simplest way to do that is by having a robust set of contracts in place. We can use our considerable experience to help you navigate this journey. We’ll sit alongside you and work out what you want to achieve. We’ll help you identify what the big risks to achieving that are, and then devise a contract and procurement strategy that mitigates and controls those risks.

Another way to insulate yourself from unnecessary risk is to work collaboratively with your supply chain from the outset. We have pioneered development of an “alliancing” model, which seeks to bring together all parties involved in a project to share risk and opportunity from the beginning, in multiple jurisdictions around the world.

We also recognize that you don’t want to have to deal with different law firms in every area in which you operate. Through our pioneering One Construction service, you come to one firm and we’ll manage one approach to one core set of contracts around the world for you. That gives you efficiency and consistency wherever you do business.
