Private and Public Construction

In the field of public procurement, JMU Law Firm offers guidance on all aspects of the 'Italian Public Procurement Code'. In addition, the Firm oversees various tasks relating to participation in public tenders, such as the formation of legal structures such as consortia, temporary groups of companies and joint ventures. These structures are increasingly important, as contracting authorities demand heightened technical, organisational, economic and financial requirements.

The Firm has developed expertise in civil, technical, and mechanical projects such as railways, pipelines, wind farms, photovoltaic plants, gas extraction and storage, and regassification facilities. Legal support for these projects must encompass not only the analysis, negotiation and drafting of contracts but also other related activities. Consistent interaction with the employers’ representatives is also essential, particularly in relation to the handling of claims, changes during the course of the project, pricing alterations, interim inspections, final testing, and guarantee releases.

In the realm of private agreements, JMU Law Firm assures its support from the budgeting and negotiation phase with the client or contractor, selecting the most appropriate type of contract (fixed price or unit based) for the particular case and, where possible, maximizing the relevant tax regime.

The Firm also supports the client throughout the subsequent development of the project, including interactions with the designer, project manager, safety coordinator and other key personnel responsible for the site.

Whilst prioritizing non-judicial solutions, the Firm has considerable experience in complex litigation in both the public and private sectors.
