Engineering, Building and Construction
We act for a variety of organisations, including procurers (such as government bodies, developers, or companies needing new offices or factories to be built); banks and other organisations funding building projects; construction companies and specialist suppliers and subcontractors; and consultants (eg architects) involved in a construction project. The work involved can involve both procurement advice (how to set up the contracting structure for a project in question and drafting and negotiating the contracts required) and claims advice (dealing with claims (such as those relating to delays to completion of a project, or defects in a building) and taking them through litigation or arbitration if necessary).
