Are you a developer, contractor or sub-contractor?
Barton Legal has extensive experience working on a wide range of construction projects for various clients including small regional contractors, national developers, and multinational building contractors with operations across the globe. Our expertise includes projects such as design and build, biomass, wind farms, pharmaceuticals, hotels, pipelines, new office builds, private hospitals, schools, factories, and railways.
When working with you, our focus is always on ensuring that your contract meets your specific needs, protects your interests, and facilitates the timely and cost-effective completion of your project.
We will ensure your contract does what you want, what it needs to do to protect you and to ensure that the project completes on time and on budget.
Do you need someone to draft, review, negotiate or advise on the contract you are using, or about to use?
Here at Barton Legal, we have extensive experience in providing contract advice, drafting and negotiating, as well as advising clients on their obligations under a contract, and providing either due diligence reports or the necessary amendments to their contract. We have worked on JCT, NEC, FIDIC and IChemE standard form contracts and various other bespoke contracts. We also draft a wide variety of commercial contracts/documents including terms & conditions, sale & purchase agreements, service agreements, exclusivity agreements, supply agreements, operation and maintenance agreements, and non-disclosure agreements.
We appreciate there may be times when you may not be able to negotiate terms and conditions and/or change liabilities and obligations, but we can tell you what they mean and the action you should or should not be taking and when.
If you know what you want, then we can draft it. If you have a complex legal document that you don’t really understand, then we can tell you what it means in plain English.
