Construction law
Construction projects involve multiple commercial risks. Our expert team will guide you through the complexities to manage and mitigate those risks to achieve successful outcomes.
Construction projects are complex and expensive, with unforeseen challenges around every corner. Our legal expertise cuts through the confusion, providing clear and creative solutions to minimise construction risks. We’ll consider your project’s entire lifecycle and your long-term goals to ensure you achieve the best outcome.
Who our construction lawyers work with
Our tier one ranked construction team acts for contractors, developers, investors, landed estates and large property portfolio owners on projects of all shapes and sizes, in both the private and public sectors.
A joined up approach
Clients choose us for our joined up legal offering; alongside construction, we are a multi-service firm, with experts in development, planning and dispute resolution.
Our construction lawyers work alongside our nationally recognised real estate team to advise clients and stakeholders on all the latest industry developments, including the complexities around the Building Safety Act, and the new JCT 2024 contracts.
Non-contentious
Our experience acting on complex and high-value building and infrastructure projects at all levels of the supply chain means that we are specialists in drafting and negotiating the full range of building contract forms (JCT, NEC, FIDIC), together with preparing, reviewing, and reporting on bespoke development agreements, professional appointments, and project finance documentation.
We work closely with clients to assess and give practical advice on issues including procurement methods, insurance provisions, project security, and risk allocation.
Contentious
Projects will not always go to plan and disputes can and do occur.
Our contentious construction team are experienced in acting for clients in a variety of dispute matters (including time and money claims, contractor insolvency, contract disputes, and professional negligence), through a full range of dispute mechanisms (including mediation, adjudication, arbitration, and court proceedings).
