Summary
I have 15+ years experience as Contract Manager, In-House Lawyer at Scandinavian large construction company and also Client's technical representative at large-scale projects.
Working many years as a Contract Manager during contracts execution phase both on the client side and also at the contractor side have given me great experience and understanding for drafting contracts that really supports project delivery rather than causing disputes during the execution phase.
