    Construction Disputes

    We possess extensive experience in handling high-value and complex construction disputes. We represent all entities involved in construction projects, including investors, general contractors, subcontractors, designers, engineers, as well as lenders and insurers.

    Construction disputes are among the most demanding – both at the strategy and preparation stage, and during court or arbitration proceedings. This results from the necessity of precise determination of technical facts and analysis of extensive design documentation. Therefore, our advice is proactive: we cooperate closely with clients’ technical staff and external experts and specialists.

    Many years of practice have taught us that entrepreneurs primarily expect support based on quick and concrete decisions. We take on the burden of managing contentious situations, allowing clients to focus on their core business. We are adept at handling cases based on the main contractual templates operating in commercial transactions, including FIDIC standards.

    We represent principals before common and arbitration courts, but we are equally keen to support them in negotiations and settlement talks – particularly within mediation before the Permanent Arbitration Court at the General Counsel to the Republic of Poland. We believe that a diligently crafted settlement is often a more favorable solution for the client than a multi-year lawsuit.

    Our dispute resolution practice has been recognized in the international Legal 500 ranking, and the firm’s lawyers achieved 1st position in the “Litigation and Arbitration” category in the Rzeczpospolita ranking.
