Technical deliveries typically include both sales and installations and individual design and manufacturing according to customer specifications as well as after sales service. They often involve requirements to functional performance and interfaces to other technical designs and deliveries. Such designs and deliveries may concern state of the art engineering work in complex relation to services provided by other parties.

A 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. 

Our assistance comprises negotiation and enforcement of agreements on technical deliveries and installations as well as dispute resolution, including litigation and arbitration proceedings, often involving significant digital elements as well as general conditions and standard terms, for instance:

  •  FIDIC Yellow Book 
  •  NL 17 and NLM 19
  •  Orgalime, including SI14, S2012 and model forms
  •  Directive 2006/42/EC on machinery and the Danish Executive Order on machinery
  • ISO Standards
  • AB18(building and construction works), ABT18 (design and build contracts), ABR18 (consultancy services for building and construction works)
  • FRI (the Danish Association of Consulting Engineers) Descriptions of Services
