Construction law concerns complex projects in which contractors, employers and designers work together. Jonsson & Hall advises at every stage of a project, from tender and contract drafting to final settlement.

Specialised service and experience

Our advice may cover, among other things, the ÍST standards, tender documents, contracts between employers and contractors, design agreements, evaluation of tenders and the interplay with public procurement rules.

Jonsson & Hall handles matters involving additional claims, liquidated damages for delay, defects in the works, warranty periods, disputes over final settlement, and relations with insurers or subcontractors.

We place emphasis on contracts being designed with the day-to-day execution of projects in mind — so that they are realistic, transparent and support good communication between the parties.

Our aim is for our advice to help clients maintain an overview of risk, secure their legal position and bring disputes to resolution in a measured manner.

  • Tender documents and bid preparation
