Services

We provide specialist legal advice to the construction and development sector. We understand the commercial realities of the industry and deliver clear, pragmatic guidance at every stage of the project lifecycle.

We also bring the right team to help. In addition to the expert project and legal advice from our team of lawyers, we have a wide network of leading consultants, including programme and delay experts, quantity surveyors, commercial managers, and project directors.

Planning and Procurement

A successful project starts with strong foundations. Effective planning, thoughtful risk allocation, and well structured contracts give your project the best chance of achieving its commercial and operational objectives.

We support clients through all aspects of project planning and procurement. Whether you are securing funding, developing a new asset, or bidding for work, we provide practical, commercially focused advice tailored to your strategic goals.

Our expertise includes:

1. Project structuring and advice on delivery models

2. Preparation and review of procurement and bid documentation

3. Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating construction and consultancy contracts.

Project support and risk management

Projects rarely follow a predictable path. We provide ongoing support throughout delivery to help you manage risks, navigate issues early, and maintain strong working relationships across the project team.

Our focus is on helping you meet your project objectives while preserving the long-term reputational and commercial relationships that matter to your business. We communicate clearly and honestly, giving you the information you need to keep your project on track.

We can assist with:

1. Independent project reviews and ‘health checks’;

2. Advice on contract administration, claims, and notice requirements;

3. Strategic guidance to proactively manage emerging risks.

Our clients are often facing periods of growth across their business.

Dispute resolution

Even well‑run projects encounter disputes. Most of these can be resolved at a project level, but when issues escalate, we provide strategic, pragmatic advice to protect your commercial interests and achieve efficient outcomes.

We act for clients in all forms of dispute resolution and bring extensive experience across the full spectrum of construction disputes. Our approach is practical, balanced, and focused on achieving the best outcome for your business.

We are experts in:

• Dispute avoidance and early strategic advice

• Claim preparation, assessment, and negotiation

• Adjudications under the Construction Contracts Act 2002

• Arbitration and High Court proceedings

• Mediation and negotiated settlements.
