The Construction & Engineering Team deals with all aspects of law impacting on the industry. When it comes to construction and engineering projects, we are specialists in both drafting and negotiating legal documentation, as well as the resolution of disputes.
As one of the largest in the UK, our Team is highly ranked by the legal directories of leading law firms Chambers and Legal 500 and has some of the most established construction lawyers in the region.
Expertise across both contentious and non-contentious law includes supply chain, dispute resolution, development and funding and recovery and realisation services.
The Team acts for a wide range of public and private sector clients, including local authorities, schools, colleges and universities, as well as professionals, contractors, developers, sub-contractors, owner occupiers and funders.
Our approach means we can provide specialist and highly responsive expertise for any project, but not at the expense of maintaining a personal and tailored service.
