In these extraordinary times, our market-leading, global construction team is increasingly advising on force majeure and related relief claims arising under the various different standard forms of construction contract, which are themselves subject to a variety of different governing laws.
To assist navigating such claims, in particular for international organisations with construction projects in multiple jurisdictions, we have prepared this concise reference guide, which sets out the relevant provisions of the standard form construction contracts used in - and the local laws of - the countries listed below.
