Technical Deliveries
Practice areaA perfect team effort is crucial to the success of a technical project, and this also applies to the necessary legal and commercial part of the delivery or the contract. Plesner's team has experience in collaborating closely with the teams of clients and technical advisors when it comes to terminology, functional requirements, deadlines, services and finances.
We have practical and legal expertise from projects involving industrial plants and industrial machinery, production and packaging plants, food processing, ventilation and climate control, hospitals, power plants and purification plants, trains, signals and railway material, ground equipment for airports, defence and emergency equipment, traffic regulation equipment, elevators and lifts, surveillance equipment, boilers, pumps and sluices, motors, gears, bearings, pipes and cables, CTS management, Scada, etc. We are involved in projects in Denmark, Greenland and the Nordic countries - in fact worldwide in matters involving leading technology.
In our advice we place great emphasis on the commercial requirements related to the technical complexity characterising technical deliveries in order to secure, for instance, liability in interfaces and the correct correlation between payment instalments, liquidated damages and permanent functionality/"uptime". Plesner's Technical Deliveries team advises our clients in close collaboration with Plesner's other specialist teams, in particular the Construction and Infrastructure teams. This enables us to provide highly specialised legal advice with respect to all parts of complex technical services.
