Construction

Our construction and engineering lawyers use their expertise and in-depth knowledge of the  industry to help make your construction project a success and resolve any disputes that arise.

We advise businesses and individuals on specialist construction contracts and ancillary project documentation, and provide post-contract (and post-completion) support that is tailored to each project.

We work closely with the Real Estate Finance team providing support to lenders,  borrowers and providers of security documentation (such as guarantors or warrantors) as necessary.

Our specialist construction law experience includes:

• Project documentation – tailored construction and service contracts to provide a solid foundation to your project
• Procurement and strategy – helping you to plan, document and manage your project (or supply chain) in a proportionate and effective way
• Project support – contractual obligations are often ignored, misunderstood or misapplied. Having the support of a construction lawyer with in-depth knowledge of the practical aspects of a construction project will help things get back on track
• Dispute resolution – the vast majority of construction disputes can be resolved at an early stage without recourse to formal legal processes., but only if they’re tackled before they have escalated or had a knock-on effect
• Adjudication
• International project support.
