Linklaters’ global construction team advises leading public and private sector clients on a wide variety of projects.
These range from domestic construction schemes to highly technical cross-border engineering projects. The team often works closely with Linklaters’ pre-eminent global project finance practice.
Domestic construction expertise encompasses complex construction and engineering projects such as commercial offices, corporate and bank headquarters and shopping centres. The construction team is renowned for its track record on major international projects, including infrastructure, utilities, mechanical and electrical systems, power and process plants, pipelines and hotels. Consortia, sponsors, public sector authorities and lenders also instruct Linklaters’ construction lawyers on global PFI/PPP work for hospitals, schools, roads, railways and prisons.
Linklaters’ comprehensive construction service includes advice on construction finance, insolvencies, insurance contracts and claims analysis and negotiation. Clients are also reassured by Linklaters’ experience of construction disputes, in court and at arbitration, in the UK and overseas.
