Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) Contract

Drafting EPC contracts manually requires extensive coordination between legal, technical, and commercial teams, often taking days to align on scope, pricing structures, performance guarantees, and risk allocation. The complexity of turnkey arrangements, milestone schedules, and regulatory compliance creates bottlenecks that delay project execution and increase legal costs.

This workflow is applicable across multiple practice areas and use cases

EPC contracts are complex transactional agreements requiring detailed commercial terms, risk allocation, payment structures, and performance guarantees across infrastructure and construction projects.

EPC contracts are fundamentally transactional documents involving sophisticated commercial negotiations, pricing structures, and contractual obligations that are core to transactional practice, regardless of industry sector.

Government-funded infrastructure and energy projects frequently use EPC contracts for public works, requiring compliance with procurement regulations and government contracting standards.

Many large-scale infrastructure and energy projects involve government entities as owners or funders, making EPC contract expertise essential for government contracts practitioners handling public construction and energy projects.

Commercial real estate development projects often require EPC contracts for construction of facilities, power plants, and infrastructure improvements on commercial properties.

Real estate attorneys handling large commercial developments need EPC contracts for turnkey construction arrangements, particularly for specialized facilities requiring engineering and procurement components beyond traditional construction agreements.

Corporate General72% relevant

In-house corporate counsel at construction, engineering, and energy companies regularly negotiate and manage EPC contracts as primary commercial agreements for major capital projects.

Corporate legal departments in construction, engineering, and energy sectors handle EPC contracts as routine commercial agreements requiring corporate legal oversight for risk management, compliance, and business operations.

Frequently asked questions
