Guidance You Deserve
"In construction and infrastructure projects, strong legal protection is the foundation that keeps your investment safe, compliant, and ready for long-term success."
Construction contracts form the backbone of any infrastructure or development project. Poorly drafted contracts are the leading cause of disputes, delays, financial losses, and project failures. A strong construction contract protects your commercial interests, allocates risk clearly, and sets out performance obligations in precise terms. This is where having an experienced construction lawyer becomes essential.
At Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP, we prepare and negotiate all types of construction contracts, including EPC contracts, turnkey agreements, subcontractor agreements, consultant agreements, joint venture agreements, and PPP project contracts. We also draft and review contracts based on FIDIC standards, which are widely used in Bangladesh and international projects.
Our law firm ensures your contracts cover every critical aspect such as project scope, specifications, timelines, milestones, payment schedules, retention money, penalties, liquidated damages, warranties, insurance obligations, and dispute resolution clauses. Many clients come to us after facing costly disputes simply because the original contract missed essential protective wording. Our goal is to prevent those risks from the very beginning.
We also negotiate on your behalf with contractors, developers, investors, or government authorities. Construction negotiations often involve high financial stakes and complicated technical details. Our lawyers work closely with engineers, project managers, and technical consultants to make sure the contracts reflect the real technical nature of the project.
International contractors or foreign investors working in Bangladesh also rely on us to ensure compliance with local regulations, procurement rules, foreign exchange requirements, and government approvals. This reduces the chance of future compliance issues during project execution.
Whether you are planning a new infrastructure venture, entering a joint development project, or hiring a contractor for a large EPC contract, having an industry-focused construction lawyer ensures your contracts support the long-term success of your project.
Disputes are common in construction projects due to delays, design changes, cost escalation, technical disagreements, or breach of contractual obligations. When conflicts arise, they can halt work, damage business relationships, and create huge financial losses. A skilled construction disputes lawyer can help you resolve these issues efficiently and cost-effectively.
Our law firm handles all types of construction disputes involving contractors, subcontractors, consultants, developers, government entities, and investors. We understand both the legal and technical aspects of construction conflicts, giving us a strong advantage in negotiations and hearings.
We represent clients in arbitration, which is the preferred method for resolving construction disputes globally. Many construction contracts, particularly FIDIC contracts, require disputes to be resolved through arbitration rather than court litigation. Our arbitration lawyers have experience in both domestic and international arbitrations, including ICC, SIAC, LCIA, and ad-hoc tribunals.
We handle disputes involving delay claims, acceleration claims, variations, defective work, non-payment, liquidated damages, wrongful termination, and breach of contract. We also work on disputes involving complex engineering issues, requiring expert witnesses and technical assessments.
Before proceeding to arbitration or litigation, we try to resolve disputes through negotiation or mediation. Early settlement can save both time and money. But if settlement is not possible, we provide strong representation in arbitration hearings and court proceedings.
Our goal is to secure the best possible outcome for you while minimizing project disruption and financial impact.
Construction and infrastructure projects require numerous regulatory approvals from government agencies. Failure to comply can result in penalties, work stoppages, or cancellation of permits. This makes legal guidance essential from the planning stage.
As a construction law firm with global experience, we assist with permits, licensing, environmental clearances, building approvals, zoning compliance, land acquisition issues, foreign investment approvals, import regulations, labor compliance, safety standards, and project documentation required by regulatory authorities.
Our lawyers keep you informed about all regulatory obligations at each project stage, helping you avoid legal risks that could delay progress. We also help international clients understand the regulatory landscape in Bangladesh so they enter the market without compliance mistakes.
We ensure your project documentation, contracts, and operations meet legal requirements under public procurement laws, environmental regulations, building codes, and foreign investor rules.
We aim to secure approvals quickly and ensure that your project stays compliant throughout its lifecycle.
Delays, variations, unpaid invoices, and cost escalations are some of the most common reasons construction projects fall into disputes. Managing these issues requires a deep understanding of project schedules, contract terms, and legal rights.
Our construction lawyers assist clients in preparing, defending, and negotiating claims involving delays, acceleration, additional work, design changes, and non-payment.
We examine project records, communication logs, contract clauses, and expert reports to build strong claims or defend against unfair demands. Whether you are a contractor seeking compensation or a developer disputing an unjustified claim, we help protect your position.
We also assist with preparing variation orders, documenting additional work, evaluating extension-of-time claims, and negotiating settlement agreements. Properly managed claims save millions and prevent long legal battles.
PPP projects involve structured government relationships, complex financing models, multi-party contracts, and long-term risk allocation. Our PPP lawyers advise on project structuring, tendering, bid preparation, negotiation, contract drafting, financing documentation, regulatory compliance, and risk assessment.
We help foreign investors enter infrastructure opportunities in transportation, energy, water, waste management, ports, and urban development.
Our law firm provides strategic, legal, and commercial support to ensure your PPP project is bankable, compliant, and contractually secure.
