Koziakov & Partners advised the respondent, the construction company, in commercial litigation against a state authority, who acted as the claimant. The claim concerned an unreasonable delay in completing the project, resulting in a substantial fine under the contract. The legal strategy, arguments and evidence introduced by our legal team were of great assistance to the client during the litigation.
Following consideration of the dispute by the court of first instance and the appeal court, the penalty for the delay initially claimed by the claimant was substantially reduced, saving the client more than UAH 10 million.
Our team advises a wide range of construction companies on all stages of infrastructure project implementation, including contract structuring and administration, compliance with contractual procedures, risk allocation, claims management, and the resolution of post-contractual disputes.
