A core practice of advising on the drafting and negotiation of construction contracts is supplemented by the provision of ongoing guidance to the project team throughout the construction phase.
Main Areas Of Practice
The team has developed a strong reputation in acting for both private and public sector organisations in non-contentious construction contract matters, including:
Drafting and negotiating construction contracts
Working with purchasers and suppliers of construction services, our expert construction and engineering lawyers are experienced in the drafting and negotiation of building contracts. The team has a well-established expertise across a number of industry sectors including residential and commercial development, retail and leisure, energy (including tidal power), health, local and national government, banking and education.
Ongoing management and support
