Contract management

With the benefit of an in-depth understanding of contract law and the needs of businesses, coupled with many years of experience in legal advice involving operational aspects, Derriennic Associates is called upon every day to support its clients in drawing up, negotiating and monitoring contractual instruments of all kinds, particularly in banking, stock markets, insurance, transport, tourism, industry (automotive, electricity, publishing, smart cards, military and paramilitary materiel), energy distribution, military electronics or public procurement.

Our broad experience in conducting and resolving complex litigation, either by amicable settlement or through the courts, has made us particularly aware of the “critical instants” in a project. The ability to identify these and manage them in a timely manner is crucial in making sure our clients’ projects have the very best chances of success, as well as reinforcing their position should they need to cope with a phase of disputes or discussions with a view to a settlement or contractual amendments.

That is why the office offers its clients a flexible contract management service tailored to their needs, which has been honed in the course of over thirty years’ experience in this field.

This service aims to provide monitoring and management of the contract, whether :

  • in legal terms: interpretation of the clauses in a contract and its annexes, negotiation of amendments and application contracts, setting up project strategies, risk analysis, crisis management, etc.
  • in economic terms: controlling the budget, managing orders and quotes, in particular for any complementary or supplementary work or services, calculating legal or contractual penalties, assessing any damage, etc.
  • or in terms of governance: running steering groups, monitoring decision-making, assisting in acceptance operations, etc.
