Pre-Contract Advice

Prior to embarking on a construction project, it is imperative that both contractors and employers have a clear understanding of the objectives.
Only when the goals have been identified and the objectives set, can the parties embark on the implementation stage.

"One piece of paper saved our client enough to buy two of these"

At Davies Kelly we help our clients achieve their goals through the review and drafting of professional services agreements, construction contracts and the identification of contractual risk.
Our experience in reviewing and drafting these ensures that the parties obligations and responsibilities are defined and that the contractual mechanisms/provisions are operable.
We regularly review these agreements and contracts for our clients to identify any adverse contractual risk and highlight their consequences and implications.
By investing in our pre-contract advice services at the beginning of a project, we can save our clients significant sums for dispute resolution and expert witness services later on.

We pride ourselves on unrelenting client focus

MICHAEL ROOS - PARTNER

Davies Kelly was approached by a UAE based civil engineering contractor to
undertake a contract review associated with a large infrastructure project.
The purpose of this advice note was to provide our client with a detailed review of the contract, identify any contractual risks, and the potential consequences flowing from them.

Based on our expert advice our client was able to revise the contracts which resulted in them agreeing revised and
more favorable terms.
It was only as a result of Davies Kelly’s expert advice that our client was able to remove significant commercial risks which could have cost them the price of two Ferrari SF90 Spiders!
