The DWF specialist construction and infrastructure legal team can manage every stage of the construction process. From inception through to completion, we have a proven track record for success from pre-contractual stages such as structure and procurement advice, negotiation and agreement of contracts including joint venture, development, project, concession, and maintenance agreements, as well as construction documentation including appointments, performance bonds, parent company, guarantees, direct agreements, and collateral warranties.
