Plant Construction

Structuring Projects with Legal Certainty, Managing Risks

Large-scale plant engineering projects are often characterized by long planning and implementation periods, complex contractual structures, and a multitude of technical, economic, and legal nuances. At the same time, all parties involved face significant pressure regarding deadlines, costs, and quality. We support companies in overcoming these challenges.

FGvW provides comprehensive advice in plant engineering. We support our clients from project development through contract drafting and negotiation to construction-related advice and dispute resolution. Our approach combines highly specialized legal expertise with a clear understanding of economic objectives, technical processes, and project organization.

Our key areas of focus in plant engineering include, in particular:

• Drafting and negotiating EPC, EPCM, and plant construction contracts, primarily using FIDIC model contracts
• Project structuring and legal support for complex industrial and infrastructure projects
• Supply, service, and installation contracts in national and international plant construction
• Claim and change order management during project implementation
• Liability, warranty, and insurance issues
• Dispute resolution and litigation in the event of project and performance disruptions

We take a holistic approach to plant engineering projects. For this reason, our advisors work closely with related practice groups in the areas of corporate law, public commercial law, insurance law, and litigation. This enables us to develop sustainable solutions for complex project structures.

In plant engineering, proactive legal support often has a significant impact on project success. We assist you in clearly structuring contracts, identifying risks early on, and guiding projects to a successful conclusion with legal certainty, even in challenging situations.
