Construction Law

Construction Law

Construction projects come with a wide range of legal challenges—for individuals, professionals, and public authorities alike. From contract negotiations to disputes over delivery and liability, every step of the construction process requires solid legal support.

Our construction law team provides specialized assistance to various stakeholders in the sector, including property owners, main contractors, subcontractors, developers, promoters, architects, engineering firms, safety coordinators, real estate agents, insurers, and neighbours.

With in-depth expertise in all legal aspects of the construction process, we offer practical support at every stage.

Our expertise

Legal advice for construction projects

Whether you're at the start, mid-phase, or final delivery of a construction project, we offer clear, hands-on legal guidance. We also have extensive experience with the Breyne Law and assist all construction parties with tailored support.

We draft legally sound, custom-made contracts that safeguard your interests and position within a project. Our expertise includes:

• (Sub)contractor agreements
• Architect contracts
• Joint venture and collaboration agreements
• General terms and conditions

We think along with your project, provide practical legal advice, and support you in negotiations.

Insurance law

We offer legal guidance in handling insurance-related issues, such as damage claims and liability disputes. Our services include:

• Policy review and analysis
• Filing of claims
• Negotiating with insurers
• Litigation support if necessary

We advise on professional liability insurance, all-risk construction insurance (CAR), legal assistance policies, and fire insurance.

Support in construction disputes

Disputes can arise before, during, or after the construction process—regarding work quality, visible or hidden defects, ten-year liability, settlement disagreements, project delivery, nuisance to neighbours, or construction damage.

Our team provides:

• Dispute advice

  Legal and strategic advice to prevent or manage conflicts.

• Negotiation and mediation

  We adopt a proactive approach to resolve conflicts through negotiation or alternative dispute resolution, such as arbitration, mediation, or collaborative negotiation.

• Litigation and expert proceedings

  When legal action is unavoidable, our lawyers defend your interests in court. Construction disputes often involve court-appointed expert investigations, and we have ample experience guiding you through these procedures.

By combining strategic insight, legal expertise, and pragmatic solutions, we help build a strong legal foundation for your construction activities—and resolve conflicts effectively.
