New source of advice on FM contracts

Asset Information, publishers of Facilities Management Legal Update, have produced what they say is the first comprehensive guide to drafting and reviewing FM contracts.

In 40 pages, the guide covers a range of key issues, including:

• tendering
• services and specifications
• contractors' obligations
• limitations on liability
• payments
• termination, and
• dispute resolution.

Practical commentary and detailed explanations of when, how and why various contractual terms should be used are offered in this publication, aimed at both clients and suppliers.

The author is Marc Hanson of solicitors CMS Cameron McKenna. In addition to having extensive drafting experience for both contractor and client organisations, Hanson is the co-author of the Model Facilities Management Contract recently produced by the Chartered Institute of Building.

The Guide to FM Contracts is available in hard copy and electronic formats, priced at £29.95. Asset Information is on 01223-511902 or asset.info@easynet.co.uk
