C&I Webinar Series: Limitations of Liability, Order of Precedence and Annexures

This session focuses on three clauses that frequently determine risk outcomes in construction and infrastructure contracts: Limitations of Liability, Order of Precedence and Annexures. Partner, Helena Golovanoff, and Special Counsel, Krishneel Kumar, will unpack how these provisions are interpreted in practice, where parties often assume protection they do not have, and how drafting missteps can shift risk in unexpected ways. We will provide clear guidance for principals, contractors and advisors on negotiating, structuring and managing these clauses to achieve greater certainty and avoid costly disputes.
