Making Partnering Work in the Construction Industryby Julian Critchlow, Partner, Fenwick Elliott
This book... looks at ways in which [partnering] may be implemented in practical terms. It is a useful guide. I commend it to you. 
Fiona Hammond, writing in the foreword to the book.
The authorJulian Critchlow is a partner at Fenwick Elliott Solicitors, the City law firm. He has advised on a number of partnering arrangements; he is a well known and widely respected author and conference presenter on construction and arbitration matters.
About the bookPartnering is a concept which has become increasingly well known in the construction industry over the last few years. There is a strong view within the industry that the adversarial culture in contracting which has dominated the last 10 to 15 years fails all in the construction process: developers, contractors, subcontractors and consultants alike.
Partnering has been put forward as an alternative approach. Although few can disagree with the desirable and entirely laudable aims of partnering, relatively little practical information has been published on how to implement it successfully. Of course, if it does not work in practice, there is little point in trying to introduce the concept.
Drawing upon the author’s own practical experience, this publication takes a balanced and pragmatic approach in trying to fill the gap of practical information on implementing partnering.
The book begins by considering the nature of partnering and what distinguishes it from other approaches. Importantly, it evaluates partnering in terms of both advantages and disadvantages. After a section on what partnering is, the bulk of the book explores the central issue of how partnering may be implemented and the potential implications. The potential impact of both domestic and EC legislation on partnering arrangements is also examined.
In essence, the book provides an analysis of the concept of partnering and allows the reader to determine whether it merits consideration in their own organisation. This book is key reading for all those involved in the construction business - contractors, subcontractors, employers, designers, architects, surveyors and lawyers.
