Partnering agreements in construction enable collaborative, non-adversarial working between clients and contractors to deliver projects. They cover early collaboration, shared governance, risk and reward sharing, and joint problem-solving across design, procurement and delivery. A solicitor drafts or reviews the framework, develops the alliance governance, negotiates the partnering terms, and supports the execution of joint procedures, including issue resolution and change control, ensuring compliance with industry standards and the specific contract strategy for value and delivery.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
These arrangements rely on carefully drafted governance, risk-sharing mechanisms and escalation processes. A solicitor handles the drafting of the alliance agreement, intercompany covenants, and the integration of procurement routes, and ensures alignment with construction contracts, project bank accounts, and regulatory duties. They also assist with dispute resolution frameworks and the interplay with traditional contracts where needed.
