The International Comparative Legal Guide to: Construction & Engineering Law (6 Revised edition)

Welcome to the sixth edition of The International Comparative Legal Guide to: Construction & Engineering Law.

As contributing editors, Herbert Smith Freehills LLP is delighted to introduce the latest edition of this comprehensive global guide to construction and engineering law and regulation. The global construction industry continues to enjoy robust growth.

It touches most aspects of modern life - from housing to infrastructure to energy - and most parts of the globe.

While the use of standard forms is relatively common, particularly in certain sectors, the governing law will vary on a case-by-case basis, and the same contract terms may operate in quite different ways in different legal systems. 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 32 jurisdictions, adopting the form of a Q&A.

It also includes one general chapter which looks at how contracting strategies can be made more collaborative. 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.
