Construction

Our lawyers are highly accomplished in assisting clients with property development and construction projects. We advise throughout the construction cycle; from the early stages of applying for planning consents and other preparatory work, through the negotiation of construction contracts to the sale or lease of the development at the appropriate stage.

We are experienced in advising on all different types of construction projects, including modular builds, steel frame constructions and EPC industrial plants. Our international team are specialists in advising clients on cross-border transactions, and we assist clients with the specific issues that construction in Iceland can involve. Our team is experienced in working both with Icelandic standards (ÍST-30) as well as international contract forms including the FIDIC suite of contracts.

Many of our lawyers are also specialists in banking and finance law, and we advise clients on the financing aspects of development and construction projects in conjunction with the pure construction aspects.. For more information please see Banking and Finance.

As one of Iceland’s leading dispute resolution firms we are also able to advise and represent clients on construction-related disputes, whether before the Icelandic courts, the Icelandic authorities, tribunals or the EFTA Court. For more information please see Dispute Resolution.
