Construction law.
Our firm offers a full range of legal services in the construction sector, adapted to the needs of different industry players such as clients, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, architects, and engineers.
Our fields of practice
We manage all aspects of bonding essential to large construction projects, including bid, performance and payment bonds for labor and materials. We also advise numerous insurers in the area of surety bonds.
We offer specialized advice in the drafting and negotiation of contractual documents, using standardized contracts such as CCDC, ACC, FIDIC, as well as forms specific to entities such as MTQ, Hydro-Québec, and others, adapted to the needs of design-build, EPC, EPCM and public-private partnership projects.
We assist our clients in the use of legal construction mortgages to secure debts. This security, offering a privileged rank, is crucial to protect financial interests in the event of payment defaults.
We guide our clients through the complex regulations of the construction sector, including compliance with building codes, the rules of the CCQ, the RBQ, the BSDQ, and the standards of the CNESST, ensuring compliance on all aspects of the projects.
Our lawyers bring their expertise to the development and management of large infrastructure projects, ensuring that all organizational, financial, legal and operational aspects are considered to minimize risks and optimize project success.
We offer specialist expertise to manage and resolve claims related to delays and loss of productivity on construction sites. These situations can significantly affect the final cost and delivery time of a project. Our approach aims to identify the causes, quantify the damages and defend the rights of our clients to obtain appropriate compensation or defend against unfounded claims.
With the growing importance of environmental standards in construction, we advise our clients on compliance with local and national environmental regulations. This includes assistance during project planning and execution to ensure all sustainable building practices are followed, as well as advising when acquiring green certifications needed for specific projects.
