Education
As Eversheds has provided advice to over 100 higher education institutions, 300 colleges of further education and schools, academies, local authorities and private sector providers we have a unique capability to marry construction and real estate advice with first class education law expertise. This means we offer the best support and guidance through your construction project.
We have extensive experience of advising on all aspects of construction projects including:
- drafting and negotiating all construction documents including building contracts, consultants' appointments, collateral warranties, framework agreements, bonds and parent company guarantees
- advising from a procurement perspective including in relation to notices for contractors and/or consultants to be submitted to OJEU and on the terms of Invitations to Tender
- advising on documentation relating to two-stage tendering
- drafting, negotiating and reviewing construction project documents for major education projects such as PFI and BSF projects (including construction provisions in project agreements, construction contracts, framework agreements and any other project documents relating to construction), and
- advising on the management of contracts once they are in place and all aspects of dispute resolution (including adjudication, mediation, legal proceedings and arbitration).
