Practice areas

We seek to adopt the best methods for achieving our clients' objectives, whether by way of litigation in the Technology and Construction Court, domestic or international arbitration, adjudication, expert determination or mediation. No one approach fits all disputes or all clients and a detailed understanding of the consequences of the various procedures is key to avoiding unnecessary delay and costs for clients.

For each project, we obtain a clear understanding of the commercial and practical construction issues and, where necessary, we liaise closely with experts in various disciplines, such as engineering, architecture, M&E services and programming. We are conscious that most construction disputes require such expertise before the legal team can advise fully and in context and we are, therefore, always keen to ensure that our advice is practically based and reflects an expert understanding of the construction issues.

In addition, we are able to advise on a wide range of non-contentious issues from project procurement strategies through to contract and appointment drafting and on-site delivery.  We also regularly draw on the expertise of the wider planning, environmental and construction (PEC) group to offer our clients a comprehensive service from the very outset of any project.

Other clients include: Anheuser Busch, Arora Holdings, Delancey Estates, European Land, Hopkins Architects, ING Real Estate, Kohn Pedersen Fox, More London Development and Weston Homes.
