Legal & Regulatory

The contracts, structures and permissions the work depends on.

Overview

The contracts, structures and permissions the work depends on.

Most of what goes wrong in a supply or advisory engagement was decided in the contract. Delivery terms, liability, variation, remedies and governing law are where a dispute is either created or quietly prevented.

We draft, review and negotiate the commercial agreements around procurement and logistics work, handle corporate structuring, registration and licensing in our markets, and support disputes and arbitration when prevention has already failed.

01

Draft against the delivery reality

Terms are written for the corridor, the border and the inspection regime the contract will actually meet.

02

Structure for the market

Registration, licensing and corporate form determine what a client can bid for and how it will be taxed.

03

Escalate on a record

Dispute support is only ever as strong as the contract management record standing behind it.

Standards

The rules this work is held to.

Technical defensibility means working to frameworks a third party already recognises. These are the ones that govern this practice.

  • National company, contract and commercial law in our markets
  • Institutional arbitration rules and dispute procedure
  • Sector licensing and regulatory permissions
  • Intellectual property and confidentiality frameworks

Adjacent capability

Work in this practice most often runs into these.

Bring us the constraint, not just the request.

A tender that keeps attracting the wrong bidders, a pipeline nobody can see into, a finding that has to be answered. That is where this practice is most useful.
