FAQ

Infrastructure & Construction law questions clients ask before instructing a law firm in Bangladesh

These frequently asked questions highlight common concerns for those undertaking infrastructure and construction projects in Bangladesh. For specific project advice, a direct consultation is recommended.

How do you ensure compliance with environmental laws for construction projects?

We conduct thorough environmental due diligence, advise on Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Environmental Management Plan (EMP) requirements, and assist in obtaining environmental clearance from the Department of Environment (DoE). We also ensure ongoing compliance with environmental standards and regulations throughout the project lifecycle.

What is the role of legal advisory in Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects?

For PPP projects, our role includes advising on legal frameworks, drafting and negotiating concession agreements, ensuring compliance with the PPP Act and policies, structuring project finance, and managing regulatory interface. We aim to create a balanced, bankable, and enforceable contractual framework for all parties.

How can legal risks in construction contracts be mitigated?

Mitigation involves clear, comprehensive contract drafting that explicitly defines scope, responsibilities, payment schedules, liquidated damages, force majeure events, and dispute resolution mechanisms. We focus on fair risk allocation and incorporate clauses that address potential delays, variations, and performance issues to prevent future conflicts.

What support do you provide for construction disputes?

We provide strategic advice on claims and counter-claims, assist in preparing documentation for dispute resolution, and represent clients in negotiation, mediation, adjudication, and arbitration proceedings. Our goal is to achieve efficient and commercially sensible outcomes, minimizing project disruption and cost.
