Contracts for construction works performed using subcontractors: Specific rules for settlement of fees
Conditioning payment to the general contractor on prior payment of the subcontractors’ fees and the ability for subcontractors to obtain direct payment from the contracting authority protect subcontractors against dishonest general contractors.

A change in subcontractors announced during a public tender
The contracting authority may require the contractor to identify its subcontractors in its offer. Then if the contractor wants to use a different subcontractor, it must assure that the conditions for participating in the proceeding are still met.

Between legal and environmental due diligence
Before a transaction, an investor will often hire consultants to conduct environmental due diligence. The environmental impact of business operations are also an element of legal due diligence. How are these two types of due diligence interrelated?

Contractual clauses concerning environmental aspects of M&A transactions
Properly constructed contractual provisions should adequately secure the interests of the parties in the event of environmental violations. They are relevant to nearly every deal.
