Kellerhals provides expertise in connection with construction, real estate and industrial facilities. Our understanding of projects in these areas of expertise is based on well-founded knowledge, since many of our attorneys have worked for contractors or procurers or have been seconded to legal departments of energy and construction companies. Furthermore, our work for governments on federal, cantonal and local levels enables us to bring valuable experience to the structuring and developing of major projects.

We assist those appointed to deliver a project, as late delivery, defects and cost overruns can be extremely damaging to reputations, client relationships and the success of a business. Legal risk management is in this context a key part of risk reduction.

Our legal risk management service and guidance therefore includes establishing procedures for dealing with potential risk areas, drafting template documentation and training your team on the contract and measures that should be taken to protect your position.

We advise claimants and respondents in all aspects of adjudication, arbitration and litigation and recognize that in many cases it is preferable for our clients to settle their cases on favorable terms rather than to arbitrate or litigate.

We provide guidance to bidders and procuring authorities on procurement and structuring for infrastructure, energy and industrial facilities projects.
