We have experience in acting for private individuals, funders, developers, employers, contractors, sub-contractors, and construction industry professionals and have particular expertise in acting for educational and charitable bodies, including reviewing funding agreements. We can also assist construction firms in dealing with claims against directors and shareholder disputes as well as defamation claims.
On the contentious side, we have experience of litigation in the Technology and Construction Court, the County Court and the Appellate courts, arbitration, adjudication and alternative dispute resolution. We understand the time and cost pressures a dispute places upon our clients and take a proactive approach to resolving issues quickly in the best interests of our client.
