In business practice, a construction or works contract is often treated as a technical instrument: the parties agree on the scope of work, price and deadlines, sign the contract and start working.However, Chapter 37 of the Civil Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan establishes a specific set of obligations and legal risks for contractors that should be considered from the very beginning of the contractual relationship.Below are the key obligations of a contractor under the Civil Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan (the “Civil Code”).1. Performing the work and delivering the result to the customerUnder a works contract, the contractor is obliged to:perform the agreed work;deliver the result to the customer;do so within the timeframe established by the contract.Unlike a services agreement, a works contract places particular importance on the result of the work.Therefore, the contract should clearly define what result is to be delivered, what requirements it must meet, and how the result will be delivered and accepted by the customer.2. Compliance with deadlinesThe Civil Code provides for the initial and final deadlines for performing the work. The parties may also establish intermediate deadlines for individual stages of the work.Unless otherwise provided by the contract, the contractor is responsible for failure to comply with the agreed deadlines.However, delays are not always caused by the contractor. For example, the customer may fail to provide the required materials, equipment or technical documentation.In such cases, the contractor should properly document the circumstances preventing performance and notify the customer in a timely manner. The Civil Code provides specific rules for situations where the customer’s actions or omissions prevent the contractor from performing the contract.3. Quality requirementsThe completed work must comply with the terms of the contract and, where the contract is silent or incomplete, with the requirements normally applicable to work of that type.Where mandatory legal requirements apply to the work, a contractor acting as an entrepreneur must comply with those requirements.If the work does not meet the required quality standards, the customer may, in cases provided by law:require the defects to be remedied free of charge;require a proportionate reduction in the contract price;claim reimbursement of the costs of remedying the defects where the contract provides for such a right.Depending on the nature of the defects and the applicable contractual terms, the legislation also provides other remedies for the customer.4. Duty to warn the customerOne of the key obligations of a contractor is to promptly warn the customer about circumstances that may affect the quality of the result or the deadline for completing the work.The contractor must immediately notify the customer and suspend the work until receiving further instructions if, in particular, the contractor discovers:that materials provided by the customer are unsuitable or defective;defects in equipment or technical documentation;potentially adverse consequences of following the customer’s instructions;other circumstances that may affect the quality of the result or make timely completion impossible.For this reason, proper documentation of such circumstances is particularly important for the contractor.5. Use and preservation of customer-provided materialsWhere materials, equipment or other property are provided by the customer, the contractor must use and preserve them in accordance with the applicable legal and contractual requirements.When using customer-provided materials, the contractor must use them economically, provide an account of their use and return any remaining materials or, with the customer’s consent, reduce the price of the work accordingly.The contractor is also responsible for preserving customer property that comes into the contractor’s possession in connection with performance of the works contract.6. Personal performance and subcontractingAs a general rule, unless the law or the contract requires the contractor to perform the work personally, the contractor may engage subcontractors to perform part of its obligations.In such cases, the contractor acts as the general contractor.Where a subcontractor is engaged in violation of the applicable legal or contractual requirements, the contractor may be liable to the customer for losses caused by the subcontractor’s involvement.Therefore, the contract should clearly address:whether subcontracting is permitted;whether the customer’s approval of subcontractors is required;who is responsible for the subcontractor’s work;how risks are allocated among the project participants.7. Delivery and acceptance of the workOnce the work has been completed, delivery and acceptance become a separate legally significant stage.The customer must inspect and accept the completed work in accordance with the procedure and deadlines established by the contract, with the participation of the contractor. If deviations from the contract or other defects are identified, the customer must notify the contractor without delay.For this reason, proper documentation of the completion and acceptance process is particularly important.Completion certificates, documents confirming delivery of the result, the customer’s objections and correspondence between the parties may become important evidence in disputes concerning payment, quality or deadlines.8. Warranty obligationsWhere a quality warranty is provided by law or by the works contract, the contractor must ensure that the result complies with the applicable requirements throughout the warranty period.Unless otherwise provided by the contract, the warranty covers everything comprising the result of the work.Warranty obligations should therefore be reviewed together with provisions concerning quality, deadlines for identifying defects, procedures for remedying defects and the liability of the parties.Why does a works contract require detailed legal review?A works contract is not simply an agreement to perform a certain scope of work. It regulates the result, deadlines, quality, materials, interaction between the parties, subcontracting, acceptance and liability.Errors made when negotiating the contract may lead to disputes after the project has already started, when changing the contractual terms or proving a party’s position can be significantly more difficult.Before signing a works contract, it is therefore important to review not only the price and deadlines but also how the legal risks are allocated between the customer and the contractor.Legal review of a works contract helps identify potentially problematic provisions in advance, clarify the parties’ liability and reduce the legal risks of the project.Sher Legal provides legal support to businesses and construction projects in Uzbekistan, including drafting and reviewing works contracts, legal support throughout contract performance and protection of business interests in contractual disputes

Sooner or later, most companies face the same question: should we hire an in-house lawyer or outsource our legal support to a professional law firm?Having an in-house lawyer may seem more convenient because the specialist is always available. However, for many businesses, legal outsourcing provides broader expertise, greater flexibility, and a more efficient cost structure.1. Cost: In-House Lawyer vs. Legal OutsourcingThe cost of an in-house lawyer goes beyond salary.A company may also need to cover:taxes and mandatory employment contributions; paid leave and sick leave; office space and equipment; professional training; legal databases and software; replacement during periods of absence. These costs remain even when the company's legal workload is relatively low.With legal outsourcing, a business can obtain professional legal support without maintaining a full-time legal department.2. Level of Legal ExpertiseAn in-house lawyer usually has a particular area of expertise. It is difficult for one specialist to have deep practical knowledge across every area of law.Working with a law firm gives a business access to a team of specialists, including:corporate lawyers; commercial law specialists; tax lawyers; construction and real estate lawyers; intellectual property specialists; litigators and attorneys. Instead of relying on one lawyer, the company can access a team of lawyers and attorneys with different areas of expertise.3. Flexibility and ScalabilityA company's legal workload changes over time.Today, the business may need several contracts reviewed. Tomorrow, it may require due diligence for a major transaction. Next month, it may need litigation support.With legal outsourcing, businesses can involve the specialists they need for each particular matter.4. Responsibility and Risk ManagementLegal mistakes can result in financial losses, disputes, and reputational damage.When legal services are outsourced, the relationship between the company and the law firm is governed by an agreement that defines the scope of services, responsibilities, communication procedures, and other terms of cooperation.This provides a clear framework for managing legal work and responsibilities.5. Keeping Management Focused on Business GrowthLegal matters can take up a significant amount of management time:contract review; claims and disputes; counterparty negotiations; corporate matters; legal due diligence; transaction support. Comprehensive legal support for businesses allows management and owners to delegate these tasks to professionals and focus on business growth.Which Option Is Better for Your Business?The right choice depends on the size of the company, the volume of legal work, and the nature of its business.For companies with a consistently high legal workload, an in-house legal department may be justified.For small and medium-sized businesses and companies with fluctuating legal needs, legal outsourcing is often a more flexible and cost-effective solution.Key advantages of legal outsourcing:optimized legal costs; access to a team of specialists; scalable legal support; broader legal expertise; reduced legal risks; no need to build and manage a large in-house legal department. Why Do Businesses Choose Sher Legal?Sher Legal brings together lawyers and attorneys providing comprehensive legal support for businesses.We can act as your external legal department, handling day-to-day legal matters and involving specialized lawyers and attorneys depending on the specific project or legal issue.This allows businesses to access a full range of legal expertise without having to build and manage a large in-house legal team. An in-house lawyer is not always the most efficient solution for a business.Legal outsourcing provides access to a team of specialists, allows legal resources to scale with the company's needs, and enables management to delegate legal matters to professionals.For many businesses, it is not simply a way to optimize costs—it is an efficient way to build a comprehensive legal function without maintaining a large in-house legal department.
