Core themes and working modules

Governing law and arbitration

  • The limits of applying English law to an EPC contract where the asset is built in Russia.
  • Lex constructionis, party autonomy and the practical constraints that matter in project delivery.
  • Why the law of the arbitration agreement must be addressed separately and with precision.

Input data, FEED and bankability

  • Rely upon and non-rely upon information and responsibility for errors in FEED and project documentation.
  • How Pre-FEED and FEED become a source of change orders and pricing exposure.
  • Subsurface risk, site investigation and balanced allocation between employer, contractor and lenders.

Licensing and the technology package

  • How to manage licensing if the original foreign licensor exits the project.
  • Transfer of the basic design package to new designers and the resulting confidentiality issues.
  • Injunctive relief exposure and product arrest risk in disputes over technology rights.

Sanctions, BIS and export control

  • Obtaining BIS export licences and building a defence strategy within the EAR framework.
  • Foreign Direct Product Rule and practical foreign availability options.
  • Working with European restrictions to preserve deliveries and keep EPC implementation moving.
