Construction & Engineering
 

Never has the pressure to minimise your risk and maximise your commercial opportunities been greater. The construction industry is facing arguably its toughest time in a generation. Unprecedented recession, a faltering housing market, reduced public sector spending and limited funding opportunities have reduced the number of projects underway and placed significant strain on those that do progress.  

It’s hardly surprising that in the current climate building contract and appointment terms are being carefully negotiated, guarantees tightened, warranties extended. No wonder that construction disputes are on the rise.

Whether you are a developer, employer, contractor, consultant or lender, the prospect of a dispute at best means the loss of valuable time and money. At worse, it could threaten the future of your business. Protecting your business means being certain of the best way forward.

Our construction team invest the time to get to know your business so that our advice matches your needs and your approach.  Getting contracts right from the start of a project can avoid a costly dispute later on. But if a dispute becomes unavoidable, we’ll do everything possible to get the result you need. 

We’ve successfully helped many clients resolve disputes through early advice and action using adjudication, as well as negotiations and mediation to get things back on track. 

We tailor every solution to your requirements and budget. Contact us to learn how we can support you and your business.
