Construction law
Securing every stage of a construction project: our team advises employers, contractors and investors with rigour and foresight.
A construction project never runs in a straight line. Programme, technical trade-offs, site contingencies and the coordination of many parties make this a field in which the quality of legal advice bears directly on the final outcome.
Our approach
We work close to the realities of the site, alongside your technical and financial teams. Our lawyers anticipate difficulties in order to prevent them and, where they arise, defend your interests to the same standard.
Areas of practice
- Professional appointments, works contracts, FIDIC forms
- Contractor liability, the ten-year warranty (garantie décennale), construction insurance
- Construction disputes, court-appointed and agreed expert proceedings
- Property development and off-plan sales (VEFA)
- Public works contracts
Why Andersen Société d'Avocats
We combine a close knowledge of the site with the ability to bring together private law, public law, tax and insurance. That breadth is uncommon and tells on complex projects.
