Discover a new perspective on construction contracts! This book is a practical guide to help you avoid litigation and effectively manage legal risks at every stage of the project. Learn how to draft contracts and implement projects, minimizing potential problems and conflicts.

• Analysis of typical procedural scenarios resulting from the implementation of construction contracts.

This book offers a unique approach, planning "from the end" - from potential litigation. The author identifies the elements of the contract and the investment process that may generate legal risks, and then shows step by step how they can be avoided. These are not only theoretical considerations, but above all practical tips that you can immediately apply in your work.

The author avoids a schematic review of regulations and jurisprudence, focusing on the real problems faced by the parties to the contract. Lack of cooperation, divergent interpretations of project documentation, abuses related to contractual penalties - these are just some of the issues that are analyzed in detail. The publication identifies the relationships between various sources of the parties' obligations, such as the text of the contract, civil, administrative and construction law regulations, as well as project documentation.

An additional advantage is the checklist for preparing a construction contract for a specific investment. This summary can be used as a starting point for internal consultations, a tool for preliminary auditing of draft contracts, a checklist of issues during negotiations or support in determining the scope of changes to contract templates. This is a practical tool that facilitates the identification of gaps and ensures that the draft contract contains all the necessary decisions.

The publication is addressed primarily to lawyers dealing with the servicing of construction investments, both on the side of clients and contractors, as well as to people drafting and negotiating the content of construction contracts. It may also be useful for judges adjudicating in commercial cases and for mediators seeking systemic solutions in contractual disputes. Format 205x149 mm, paperback, 392 pages.
