Our Expertise
Construction
In the construction industry, it's not good enough to have just a lawyer: you need a problem solver and an industry adviser.
Our recently expanded construction law team is now even better resourced to offer the specialised experience and market knowledge that make the commercial solutions you need possible.
Our contentious and non-contentious services throughout the UK include:
- advice on procurement strategy
- drafting, review and negotiation of construction documentation
- advice on contract implementation
- adjudication and construction litigation.
These services come with a proven track record in complex PPP/PFI projects and developer and transactional work. We have worked:
- on a number of pathfinder projects, including the UK's first multiple schools and waste projects to reach financial close
- with public and private sector property developers, contractors, funders and tenants, on retail, leisure, commercial and industrial projects
- for employers, contractors and sub-contractors in all forums, including multi-million pound litigation, bond claims and traditional contractual disputes.
