Issue: The pre-bid agreement allocated risks unevenly, requiring the subcontractor to assume early financial and commercial obligations without clear corresponding rights. Challenge: To redraft the guarantee, exclusivity, pricing, and transfer-of-obligations provisions in a manner that protected the subcontractor and restored balance without disrupting the agreement’s commercial structure.
We conducted a comprehensive legal review of the pre-bid agreement, including: - Analyzing the allocation of risks between the main contractor and the subcontractor. - Testing the provisions against potential project scenarios. - Reviewing the financial guarantee, exclusivity, and price-fixity provisions. - Regulating the transfer of obligations and rights under the Back-to-Back principle. - Protecting technical deliverables and designs. - Proposing negotiation amendments that created clearer balance and reduced the likelihood of disputes.
Value delivered by us: We transformed the review from a linguistic examination of the provisions into a practical risk analysis, followed by clear negotiation amendments linking each obligation to a corresponding right, protecting the commercial and technical interests and reducing the likelihood of disputes before performance began.
