FIDIC-based contracts for solar plant construction
We designed a FIDIC-based contract system for a Nicaraguan contractor so it can contract and subcontract on solar projects without renegotiating every agreement.
Executive read
Context → Strategy → Execution
Each matter is presented as a decision sequence. The goal is not to display volume, but to show how a complex situation is legally structured so it can be executed with greater clarity.

Context
What was at stake before intervention.
02
Approach
How the legal response was structured.
• FIDIC-based contracts with the main contractor, separated by work package or service. • The contractor's own General Conditions, reviewed annually, plus Particular Conditions for each bid, usable as contractor or subcontractor and for build-only or design-build works. • Tiered dispute resolution: negotiation, expert determination and arbitration in Managua.
