The construction and civil engineering industry has seen vast changes in recent years, due to a demand for higher technical standards, the development of design-build contracting and partnering arrangements and recently introduced mandatory adjudication procedures.
Our extensive work with developers, major contractors, construction firms and international investors looking to invest in a property portfolio ensures we understand what is required of today’s construction lawyer. Speed of preparation and response, conciseness and clarity, narrowing down issues early, and seeking resolution through ADR are all central to our approach, as are the skills and tenacity to ensure good results.
We also support contractor clients in the development of longer term contractual partnerships with public sector and larger private sector clients. As the drive for public investment and urban regeneration continues, we will help you identify opportunities for long term collaboration by applying our construction, contractual, and regulatory expertise to other business sectors where we have an outstanding track record, such as education, energy and utilities, housing and regeneration.
