Our team offers a full range of legal services, from project inception to completion. We work closely with our clients to ensure that every stage of the construction process is covered, from contract drafting and negotiation to dispute resolution and risk management. Our in-depth understanding of construction law and industry-specific regulations means we are well-equipped to help clients navigate the challenges of this dynamic sector.
Contract Drafting and Negotiation
Effective and well-drafted contracts are essential to the success of any construction project. Our team specialises in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating a wide range of construction contracts, including standard form contracts (such as JCT, NEC, and FIDIC) and bespoke agreements. We ensure that the contracts clearly define the roles, responsibilities, and risks of all parties involved, protecting your interests and minimising the potential for disputes down the line.
Construction Dispute Resolution
Disputes are common in construction, but with the right legal support, they can be resolved efficiently and cost-effectively. Our expert litigators and dispute resolution specialists provide robust representation in all forms of dispute resolution, including adjudication, arbitration, litigation, and mediation. Whether you’re dealing with payment disputes, delays, defects, or professional negligence claims, our team will work diligently to achieve the best possible outcome for you.
Risk Management and Project Support
Construction projects are inherently risky, but our team helps you manage and mitigate those risks. We provide ongoing legal support throughout the project lifecycle, advising on risk allocation, contract compliance, regulatory matters, and health and safety obligations. With our proactive approach, we help you identify potential issues early on, reducing the likelihood of costly delays or disputes later.
Project Finance and Funding
Securing adequate funding is crucial for the successful delivery of construction projects. We assist clients with project finance matters, helping to secure loans, negotiate financing terms, and manage the legal aspects of financial agreements. Our team ensures that all financing arrangements are structured to support your project’s needs while minimising legal and financial risks.
Regulatory Compliance
Navigating the complex regulatory environment is a critical part of any construction project. Our lawyers are well-versed in the latest regulations, including planning, environmental laws, building codes, and health and safety standards. We provide guidance to ensure full compliance with both local and international regulations, helping you avoid costly fines or project delays.
Procurement and Supply Chain Management
Effective procurement and supply chain management are essential for keeping your project on track. We offer legal support in drafting and negotiating procurement contracts and advising on supply chain issues. Whether you are sourcing materials, engaging subcontractors, or managing logistics, we ensure your procurement processes are legally sound and commercially viable.
