This Scottish equivalent addresses the engagement of external advisors for a construction project, such as architects and engineers, under Scottish contract law and procedures. A solicitor drafts and negotiates the consultant appointment, defines services, fees, duties, liability and termination, and considers interaction with the main contract, standard forms, and Scottish dispute resolution processes. Where terminology or process differs in Scotland, those terms are used (e.g., appointing rather than contracting, and the relevant Scottish procedure for disputes).
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor manages appointment documents, ensures alignment with Scottish construction practice, and handles liability, indemnity and insurance provisions, plus any Scottish-specific procurement or dispute-resolution considerations.
