Construction

PRACTICAL, STRATEGIC SUPPORT TO DEAL WITH CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS AND DISPUTES – SOLVING THEM QUICKLY AND SIMPLY.

A CLEAR-CUT STRATEGY FROM START TO FINISH

Time is money in construction. Disputes, project delays and unpaid payment applications or bills can quickly have a negative impact on a business. We cut through the problems, get to the heart of what you want to achieve, and work fast to find outcomes that protect your business – and your profits.   We represent all parties in the construction sector supply chain including employers, main-contractors, sub-contractors, developers and those involved in providing professional construction advice and services.

Commercial solutions to keep your project on track

Construction work demands experience, industry knowledge and speed. And that’s what our team bring. We advise on both contentious and non-contentious matters including procurement, contract negotiations and formation, variations, delay, extensions of time, non-payment, and other claims arising from contract breakdowns. When things don’t go as planned, we use adjudication, mediation, arbitration, early neutral evaluation, expert determination and litigation to achieve your legal and commercial goals.

In many cases, adjudication is the prescribed dispute resolution procedure in a contract – intended to deliver swift decisions that keep the money flowing and projects moving forward. Where confidentiality is crucial, mediation and arbitration provide a private and effective means of resolution. But if litigation is unavoidable, we’re formidable opponents in a courtroom.

Even before you put a spade in the ground, we can help you understand the relevant legislation or review contracts to highlight and prevent issues before they start. We also know our way around construction insolvency cases, a growing challenge in today’s market – a pairing that not many law firms offer.

As well as being expert lawyers, we’re real people you can talk to. Always focused on making life easier, not harder.
