Construction
Our solid reputation as construction lawyers is based on our in-depth knowledge, industry expertise, and understanding of the different perspectives of the construction client, the contractor, and the consultant.

What we do
-
For the practitioner, construction projects are, perhaps, primarily characterised by questions concerning various types of technical and technological issues. In addition to that, the law is a very important instrument for creating clarity and calculability, allocating risks and rights, and structuring the right incentives for a project to be as successful as possible.
We help our clients with everything from planning construction projects and consultancy services to drafting tender documents, conducting contract negotiations, addressing issues during ongoing projects, dispute resolution, arbitration inspections, and more.
Foyen’s advice is commercially strategic. Knowing which form of contracting and which compensation rules are most appropriate, how a major construction project can be divided up to increase efficiency, and how a dispute should be handled can be decisively crucial. In addition, we often work on matters concerning consultants’ liability in damages. We have industry knowledge and understand the different perspectives of the construction client, the contractor, and the consultant.
We are also accustomed to negotiating contract terms and conditions that differ from the usual standard agreements and that are appropriate for a specific engagement.
We are very interested in technological developments and the role of law in digitalisation. One issue that we are particularly involved in is contract law for digital models. Foyen’s lawyers are also retained as legal experts to develop the industry’s standard agreements. We strive to be at the forefront of construction law, writing articles and professional literature and holding training courses in the field.
Our lawyers have significant experience in handling large and complex construction disputes and disputes relating to consultancy matters. We help at the negotiating table and try to find constructive solutions. If a dispute has to go to court or arbitration, we put experienced, skilled, and strategic litigators at the client’s disposal.
”Great knowledge of the industry and about consultancy law. Our “house firm” for more than 20 years.”

Why Foyen?
-
In the past, it was unusual for the construction and infrastructure industry to hire lawyers to draw up contracts. The parties were satisfied with standard agreements and sometimes there were no formalised contracts at all. But that was a long time ago. Nowadays, clients, contractors, and consultants expect lawyers to assist in all phases of a project.
For many years, Foyen’s lawyers have advised on all types of construction and consultancy law issues. We have built up expertise that has led to us being one of today’s leaders in construction and infrastructure law.
The Legal500 international ranking institute places Foyen among the top Swedish law firms in construction law. Our lawyers have been recognised as leaders in the field for many years and are repeatedly retained by companies on the market. We are committed to maintaining and developing our good reputation in the best possible way.
“Dedicated, fast and easy to communicate with.”
