disputes concerning additional work, changes to the terms of the contract,
delays, unforeseen site conditions, and unreimbursed additional costs.
Our firm advises and represents municipalities, contractors, subcontractors, and
other stakeholders in the construction industry in connection with claims arising from
public tenders.
In particular, we provide services for:
- Claims for additional work
- Unforeseen conditions or discrepancies in plans and estimates
- Delays, obstacles and productivity losses
- The interpretation of contractual clauses and tender documents
- Legal actions against municipalities and public bodies, both as plaintiff and defendant
- Negotiations, mediations and legal disputes
We understand the operational and financial realities specific to public construction projects,
as well as the unique requirements applicable to municipal contracts and those arising
from public tenders. Our goal is to advocate for our clients’ rights in a
strategic and effective manner, while taking into account the business imperatives associated with
ongoing projects.
Our firm represents both contractors and other stakeholders in the construction industry
in connection with claims, as well as municipalities called upon to defend themselves against such
claims. This dual experience allows us to fully understand the contractual,
technical, and administrative issues specific to public projects, as well as the strategies typically
employed by both sides in a dispute.
