Construction and Infrastructure partners, David Nitek and Nicholas Downing, and professional support lawyers, Becky Johnson and Noe Minamikata, have authored an expert analysis chapter in the 10th edition of The International Comparative Legal Guide - Construction & Engineering Law 2023.

Their chapter "Bonds and Guarantees in the Construction Sector" explores the main types of bonds and guarantees used in the construction sector and how they are used in both the UK and international markets. The chapter also considers how these instruments are interpreted by the courts as well as enforcement issues and potential remedies available under them.

As with previous editions, this guide also provides insights into how different legal systems approach common issues encountered on construction and engineering projects, covering 20 jurisdictions in a Q&A style.
