International Construction Law Alliance

icla_logo.jpg

The International Construction Law Alliance was established in June 2000. It comprises a number of law firms that are experts in the area of construction law in a number of countries in both hemispheres.

There are very few places on the planet that have not utilised the services of the Alliance. Advice has been given in most Western jurisdictions in addition to the Eastern Block, Africa and Asia.

The cross-jurisdictional Alliance ensures that clients who operate (or plan to operate) on a cross-border basis can have lawyers from a common grouping.

The member firms have been chosen by design, the criteria being excellence in the area of construction law and a significant client base in construction law. Many member lawyers of these firms have published material on construction law including leading texts in their respective jurisdictions.

Another stipulation for the Alliance is that only one firm per jurisdiction is eligible for membership, hence the ICLA has only one Australian member firm, being Lovegrove Solicitors.

Lovegrove Lord & Johnston was one of the founding members of the ICLA. Our firm worked closely in the development of the Alliance with our London affiliate for some three years before it was launched.

Our founding member firms are:

  • Rozemond Van Ramshorst Smit in Amsterdam
    (the oldest construction law firm in Europe)
  • Jewkes Chan & Partners in Beijing, Hong Kong and Tianjin
  • Fenwick Elliot in London
    (the second-largest construction law firm in the UK)
  • Peckar & Abramson in Miami, New Jersey, New York and San Francisco;
  • Chan Tan & Partners in Singapore
