Why engage Project Legal?
Project Legal offers a service different from traditional law firms by focussing solely on Major Projects.
Compared to traditional law firms Project Legal offers the following:
- International Experience: we have true international experience. We travel extensively throughout the world and are used to negotiating with contractors and vendors from many different countries. We understand that not every legal system is the same and are sensitive to cultural differences when doing business. We are experienced in cross border legal issues including international trade law, international commercial arbitration, Incoterms, free trade agreements and tax issues.
- Integration: we are used to working closely with other project functions as a team, often co-located with project commercial functions such as contracts, procurement, project controls, accounting, finance and treasury in the project office. We consider the legal function is an important part of every Major Project and deliver the legal function integrated with all commercial functions and project management.
- In Depth Knowledge and Understanding: because we specialise in Major Projects, we have in depth knowledge and understanding of the legal issues that Major Projects face. Many issues that arise on Major Projects we have experienced and solved successfully before. We speak the language of Major Projects.
