Handling of construction disputes

Contract writing
We help you negotiate and write robust agreements that protect your interests and minimize the risk of future disputes. In order to avoid legal process due to a construction project/contract, it is important that a job description is submitted and that a detailed agreement is drawn up.
Make sure to get a written quote and a job description. Which describes in more detail what the builder must carry out for work steps (during construction, renovation, etc.).
You can agree on ongoing work or a fixed price, known as a ceiling price, for the execution of the work. Document when construction is expected to be completed and do not pay the full amount at the beginning of the project. These are just a few of the recommendations that we can make.
Finally, it is recommended that you check if the construction company has liability insurance.

Our first initial call is also free of charge, a good opportunity for you to present your circumstances, to show us relevant documentation and evidence, as well as to discuss the cost of litigating in court (applying for summons).
A summons is sent to the competent district court. For the case to be tried during a main hearing. Some disputes can reach a settlement and end earlier, a so-called settlement that can be confirmed by judgment. Settlement can be beneficial to parties who do not have the time or money to go through a full legal process all the way to the main hearing. Most often, the parties usually reach a settlement in connection with the oral preparation in the competent court.
Legal protection
You may be entitled to legal protection, via your insurance company. Legal protection means that your insurance usually pays about 80% of your legal costs, which of course means less risk and worry about high legal costs. An application for legal protection is sent in by a lawyer you hire. We sincerely believe that every client should be well aware of their opportunities, rights and obligations, we also understand the importance of you as a client being informed of the possible costs you may have to pay, and thus also the importance of answering the question of legal protection.
