Construction Contracts
Strategic advisory at the intersection of law, engineering, and infrastructure.
Construction projects demand more than well-drafted contracts—they require frameworks that are commercially realistic, technically informed, and legally enforceable. With a dual background in engineering and law, Mian Sheraz Javaid delivers comprehensive advisory services that ensure contracts work not only in theory, but also on site and in dispute resolution.
Integrated Legal & Technical Expertise
MSJ bridges the gap between engineering realities and legal precision, creating construction contracts that are both watertight and workable.
Contract Lifecycle Support
Bespoke guidance from pre-tender structuring to risk allocation, dispute prevention, and post-award claims strategy.
Adaptability to Global & Local Standards
Experience with FIDIC, NEC, EPC, and PPP models across diverse jurisdictions, tailored to regulatory and cultural contexts.
MSJ’s construction contracts advisory begins with a deep understanding of both the technical and legal landscape of a project. His engineering background enables him to translate on-ground realities into legally precise clauses, ensuring enforceability and practical implementation. Whether structuring contracts from scratch or reviewing existing agreements, he delivers frameworks that anticipate risks, allocate responsibilities, and reduce ambiguity.
He works across the full spectrum—from selecting the appropriate contract model (such as FIDIC, EPC, NEC, or PPP) to negotiating key terms like scope, variations, payment, time extensions, and performance obligations. His role is preventive: advising on notice requirements, change control mechanisms, and claims strategy so clients can preserve entitlements and avoid escalation.
Having advised on infrastructure projects in Pakistan, the UK, the Middle East, and other regions, MSJ understands how to localize international standards to fit national laws and enforcement systems. His approach blends global best practices with region-specific nuance, making him a trusted advisor to government bodies, developers, and international contractors alike.
