The Construction Industry involves many legal issues from the acquisition and implementation stages onwards. It concerns a substantial number of conflicting interests involved in a project. If “things go wrong” during the course of a contract or afterwards and disputes arise then they have to be resolved as effectively, expeditiously and economically as possible.

Our Construction Law Group is made up of experienced lawyers from each of the departments actively involved in this field: Property; Environment; Planning; Finance; and Litigation/Dispute Resolution.

Members of the team have experience of setting up and advising on projects and the resolution of disputes that arise during the performance of the contract or afterwards.

“Formal” resolution of disputes can now involve not only litigation and arbitration but also, where appropriate, mediation and adjudication. All cases require shrewd analysis, advice and negotiation. We work with our clients and external experts as a team to obtain the required results.
