We have wide-ranging experience of advising and representing clients in technically complex, high-value and occasionally high profile construction and engineering disputes. We have the breadth and depth of expertise to advise you on all forms of dispute resolution, including adjudication, mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution, arbitration, and litigation.
Mediation
Dispute resolution is first and foremost about finding practical and affordable solutions to avoid the risk and expense of litigation. Our close connections with CEDR, the ADR Group and specialist barristers’ chambers ensure we are able to quickly enlist help from the country’s leading exponents of mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution.
Adjudication
Our experience of construction adjudication enables us to provide you with first-rate advice on the relative benefits of adjudication over other methods of dispute resolution. Whether relating to money or other claims, we have the necessary resources to act promptly to achieve quick, yet enforceable decisions, helping to ease your cash flow and minimise disruption to the project concerned. Recent adjudication cases have involved claims for the recovery of sums upwards of £4 million in value.
Litigation and arbitration
Where appropriate, you can rest assured that we have the necessary expertise and experience to protect your interests, whether you are pursuing or defending a litigation or arbitration claim.
We have wide-ranging experience of pursuing claims in the Technology and Construction Courts, and higher appeal Courts. In past years, our senior lawyers have been involved in a number of well known cases, including the Court of Appeal decision in Strachan & Henshaw Limited -v- Stein Industrie (UK) Limited and GEC Alsthom, and the Court of Appeal and House of Lords decisions in the ground-breaking McAlpine -v- Panatown case.
