Description
Welcome to the seventh edition of ICLG - Construction & Engineering Law. As contributing editors, Herbert Smith Freehills LLP are delighted to introduce the latest edition of this comprehensive global guide to construction and engineering law and regulation. Clearly, 2020 has been a challenging year for the construction sector. Many projects have been delayed and disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and, at the time of writing, it is not clear when some sense of normality will resume. The legal profession needs to ensure that it is in a position to respond to the new challenges that the global construction industry will face in the months and years ahead, both in terms of resolving the issues faced by live projects and ensuring an appropriate allocation of risk in future contracts. There will be no 'one size fits all' approach - each project, and each jurisdiction, will have its own challenges to overcome. As with the previous editions, this guide provides valuable insights into how different legal systems approach the questions that are commonly encountered on construction and engineering projects. It covers 21 jurisdictions, adopting the form of a Q&A. It also includes one expert analysis chapter, which looks at the importance of Force Majeure clauses in construction contracts. We are honoured to join a group of distinguished specialists to provide this authoritative guide, and are grateful to all contributors for sharing their knowledge and experience. We hope that you find this guide to be useful, practical and thought-provoking.
