Disputes have always been an almost inevitable part of the construction industry. Our dispute lawyers have considerable experience in advising construction employers, contractors , sub-contractors and professionals on the standard and non-standard construction and engineering contracts and the application of their terms.
Disputes can involve almost anything about the contract terms but most disputes relate to payment/non-payment of money, allegations of defective work/negligence or delay.
What do we prosecute and defend?
Adjudication proceedings – time is always of the essence in dealing with these type of summary proceedings and we will work quickly and efficiently to protect your interests.
Arbitration proceedings – often referred to as private litigation, we will advise on whether this procedure is available and what it will involve. We will represent you in this process.
Court proceedings – these can be in the County court, High Court or specialist Technology and Construction Court. We have substantial experience in all Courts.

In addition to bringing our own experience we have numerous expert contacts (such as quantity and chartered surveyors) within the industry, when expert evidence is required on cases.
