Expert Legal Solutions for Construction Disputes
The construction industry in Vietnam is growing rapidly, but with large-scale projects come complex legal challenges. Disputes over contracts, delays, defects, and payments are common and can lead to significant financial and reputational damage. At La Défense Vietnam, our Construction Disputes practice provides strategic legal solutions to help businesses, developers, contractors, and investors navigate and resolve disputes effectively.
With deep industry knowledge and extensive experience in construction litigation, arbitration, and dispute resolution, we work to protect our clients’ interests and ensure the best possible outcomes.
Common Causes of Construction Disputes
Disputes in the construction sector can arise from a variety of issues, including:
1. Contractual Disputes
Poorly drafted contracts, ambiguous terms, or breaches of agreement can lead to conflicts between stakeholders. Our legal team ensures that construction contracts are well-structured, enforceable, and legally sound to prevent and resolve disputes efficiently.
2. Delays & Project Disruptions
Delays due to unforeseen circumstances, supply chain issues, or contractor performance can result in financial losses and legal claims. We assist clients in negotiating delay penalties, enforcing contract obligations, and seeking compensation for project disruptions.
3. Payment Disputes & Non-Performance Issues
Contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers often face disputes over delayed or unpaid invoices, contract variations, and changes in scope. We help clients recover unpaid dues, enforce payment obligations, and resolve conflicts through legal mechanisms.
4. Defective Construction & Quality Issues
Claims related to poor workmanship, structural defects, or violations of building standards can lead to legal liability. We provide expert legal representation in defect claims, ensuring that responsible parties are held accountable.
5. Regulatory Compliance & Permitting Issues
Construction projects must comply with Vietnamese building regulations, safety laws, and environmental standards. We advise clients on regulatory compliance, licensing issues, and government approvals to avoid disputes and legal penalties.
6. Disputes Between Contractors & Subcontractors
Complex projects often involve multiple contractors and subcontractors, leading to coordination challenges, disputes over responsibilities, and claims for additional costs. We assist in mediating and resolving disputes to maintain project stability.
