“Lukas Klee’s “International Construction Contract Law” is a useful contribution to the doctrine of international construction law. The ebook is well written and contains a wealth of practically useful information, which will help external lawyers, in-house lawyers, project managers, engineers, and other professionals who are involved in the negotiation and/or management of major international construction contracts.” (ASA Bulletin, 1 October 2015)
“Dr Klee’s book should have broad appeal in the Australian construction industry … The description of key concepts is thorough and the snapshots of relevant common law principles clearly articulated. Dr Klee cleverly connects the legal and the practical thereby bringing the performance and administration of construction contracts out of the theoretical realm into the real world. … Dr Klee’s observations, discussion, and inquiry into what the future holds for international construction contracts is thought provoking and, pleasingly, interesting and enjoyable reading”

“Some books quickly become ‘go-to‘ books in their field, in particular because they are practical, user-friendly, and succinct, yet comprehensive. Dr. Lukas Klee‘s book on international construction contract law falls into this category and would be a worthy addition to the bookshelf of every reader of Construction Law International. Non-Lawyers and lawyers alike will appreciate the author’s hands-on and real-life approach”. – Bernd Ehle, Construction Law International
