What’s the role of lawyers in construction projects?

In our role as lawyers, we see it as our primary function when looking at construction projects to identify risk, ensure that risk is understood by all the parties, and in particular the person taking on the risk, and to ensure that person is able to properly manage the risk. It is also important that the person is properly rewarded for taking on the risk so that's how we like to approach the pulling together of construction documentation and various contractual relationships. – David Weare
