Construction Disputes Solicitor / Lawyer

Construcción

Nuestro consolidado equipo de Construcción cuenta con una amplia experiencia en el asesoramiento a empresarios, contratistas principales y subcontratistas en una amplia gama de litigios de construcción.

Our clients span the whole construction sector, including employers, main/sub-contractors, and construction professionals (such as architects). We are experienced acting in and advising on a multitude of construction disputes arising out of the full spectrum of construction contracts, as well as bespoke written (or oral) agreements. We are adept at handling disputes that range from ‘smash-and-grab’/Final Account adjudications to advising clients in respect of delay claims as well as the heavily contentious area of termination.

We assess each client’s goal and devise a practical, workable strategy that is best suited to achieving the desired result, whether achieved by way of negotiations, mediation, adjudication, or, where appropriate, issuing proceedings in the Technology and Construction Court.
