Construct. law - Winter 2020
Welcome to the Winter edition of our construction, engineering and projects publication, Construct.Law.
Our winter edition focuses on topical legal issues affecting the construction, engineering and projects sector at the end of a uniquely challenging year. Articles address a wide ranging selection of topics across the lifecycle of a project, from modular construction to termination. There is the usual round up of adjudication cases, including some significant decisions regarding enforcement by insolvent companies. We also continue our essential law series on variations.
We hope you enjoy reading this edition of Construct. Law. Please do get in touch if you would like to discuss any of the issues covered by Construct. Law or if there are any topics which you would like us to cover in future editions.
