Transportation

Our experience of construction and engineering within the transportation industry enables us to advise Employers, Engineers and Contractors at all stages in a project including:

• Feasibility and Planning
• Project management;
• Procurement;
• Development;
• Construction;
• Supply;
• Dispute avoidance and resolution.

We can also provide training programmes for parties involved in these sectors. The training ranges from contract procurement and formation to contractual awareness and dispute avoidance/resolution. We can also provide training on the standard forms of contract (FIDIC, NEC3, IChemE and IMechE) along with tailor made seminars in relation to the clients bespoke forms of contract.

All of these issues and many others create a range of challenges for organisations in the sector. Silver Shemmings can use their experience and specialist skills to help. Whether the project is in the UK or overseas our team can provide both legal and commercial advice on and tailored drafting of:
