Construction

With increasing housing supply and new infrastructure projects being a focus in the UK, ensuring construction, property development and infrastructure companies can focus on growing their businesses is a priority. We guide our clients through the complexities of these highly regulated sectors, ensuring they meet their necessary legal compliance requirements.

Whether you are involved in the construction sector as a trade or professional consultant in property development (residential or commercial), or in infrastructure (such as rail, roads, hospitals, schools, prisons, energy, or resources), our construction lawyers have extensive experience and provide the legal expertise you need to navigate any project efficiently and cost-effectively.

This includes services such as:

  • drafting, reviewing, and negotiating construction and building contracts (including standard form contracts such as JCTs);
  • drafting, reviewing, and negotiating project management agreements and consultancy agreements;
  • resolving construction disputes;
  • managing payment issues; and
  • assisting with tender documentation and responses.
