One of my most challenging tasks was interpreting legal advice. It often fell to the project manager to decide what recommendations were included.
Legal advice was usually requested when setting up contracts for engineering services and construction management, when purchasing property and land, and resolving queries relating to equipment supply terms and conditions.
The advice was so thorough, especially regarding liabilities, that sometimes wading through the detail in order to set priorities for decision making and negotiation was not easy.
If one was not careful, special conditions to model forms of contract would start to become disproportionately large and take an age agreeing.
Fortunately project managers are equipped with the the risk analysis and stakeholder management skills to usually establish proportionality.
The above opinion is made without prejudice.
