Construction

We're in the business of creating success stories.

Our skill lies in making everything run smoothly; coming up with effective, often bespoke, procurement strategies and negotiating contracts with the myriad of people involved in any project.

To ensure our clients interests are protected from start to finish takes experience and foresight, two qualities we have in abundance.

Our Partners oversee the entire transaction, from examining titles and acquiring land to putting contracts in place and dealing with environmental issues.

By having one point of call, our clients are never pushed from pillar to post. And it can save money too.

Of course, even the best laid plans can go awry, which is when our contentious construction lawyers can step in to get everything back on track.

We always adopt a positive attitude. Perhaps that's why so many of our Construction stories have positive endings?

Construction disputes are highly specialised.

It takes a canny ability to analyse and understand the background to a dispute and work out the best course of action for the client.

Pragmatism often plays a large part in deciding the correct strategy to bring a dispute to a satisfactory conclusion and ensure there is minimum disruption to any project.

We like to get a good feel for the client’s business and how a dispute might impact on the rest of that business.

Being prepared always gives an edge and we work closely with our non-contentious construction department to foresee problems and head them off at the pass.

If a case does go to court one of our Solicitor-Advocates can provide representation throughout. This means we have a complete understanding and knowledge of a case from start to finish without interruption in representation.

This can also save a client extra expense. One more reason why, if a dispute arises, talking to us is a good first tactic.
