Specialized Sectors

Construction and Contracting

The construction sector is one of the most legally complex and interrelated fields, where contractual, technical, financial, and regulatory rules intersect at every stage of the project. Sensitivities in this sector arise from managing risks related to delays, changes in scope of work, mutual financial claims, and interactions with multiple parties such as owners, contractors, consultants, and suppliers.

At B&Co, we possess extensive experience in handling construction matters of various scales. We are thoroughly familiar with the complexities of FIDIC and government contracts and provide our clients—whether contractors, owners, or developers—with comprehensive legal support throughout all stages of the project, from negotiation to execution to liquidation or arbitration.
