Construction Solicitors

The construction industry can be complicated from a legal perspective. Legislation must be carefully adhered to and contractual disputes must be quickly resolved.

We have the expertise to provide robust contentious and non-contentious advice to employers, consultants, contractors, subcontractors, purchasers, tenants and funders across a range of construction and engineering industry sectors to help assess and manage the legal risks of procurement and construction.

We provide legal advice on issues such as the implications of contract notices, extensions of time, the timing and content of payment and pay-less notices, payment of retention, suspension of work and termination.

The construction team are also regularly instructed by adjudicators to take enforcement action on their behalf to recover their fees pursuant to the adjudicator’s decision.
