Philip Lee Solicitors has advised on some of the largest infrastructure projects in Ireland.

We have extensive experience in construction law, including advising on the design, development and successful implementation of large and small civil engineering contracts for public sector bodies. We also advise on and draft contractual documentation for a variety of building projects for the public and private sectors, from social housing to retail and commercial developments.

Our ongoing involvement in public infrastructure projects ensures that we are continually expanding and reviewing our skills and are familiar with developments in both the public and private sectors. In recent times our work has included advising the Forum for the Construction Industry on drafting the Guidelines for Design Build projects in the Public and Private Sectors. The nature of our practice means that we are involved with changes in the sector such as the drafting of standardised contractual documentation for the early strategic stages. This ensures we are uniquely situated to advise on contractual issues in the construction sector as they arise.

One of the core areas of construction practice is the resolution of contractual disputes in the construction sector, where we focus on the efficient expediting of conflict resolution so as to minimise the impact on projects. The firm has represented both public and private sector clients in a wide range of disputes arising from construction contracts, including delay and disruption claims, disputes regarding variations and price fluctuation clauses, claims under “change in legislation” clauses, and many others. We have successfully acted as advocates in conciliation and arbitration proceedings arising from construction and civil engineering contracts.

Our project finance team has broad experience ranging from major PPP projects to smaller property financing transactions.
