Whenever construction disputes arise, the stakes are invariably high for those involved; whether for a homeowner dissatisfied with an extension, a developer in dispute with a contractor or a tradesman chasing payment from his customer.
Our litigation team has a successful record in acting for developers, construction companies, contractors and homeowners. Such disputes are usually contractual and the contract often stipulates how the dispute should be handled (for example, through adjudication, arbitration or mediation).
Even where dispute resolution techniques are not mandatory, they are often better than costly court action. Our experienced litigators will guide you skilfully through every stage of a dispute, from informal negotiations through to court proceedings where these are unavoidable.
We give you the pragmatic legal advice you need to make the commercial decision which is right for your business. Our diligence and attention to detail are second to none, but we recognise that your priority may be on such matters as retaining cash flow, developing a strategic advantage or safeguarding a commercial relationship. We can help you manage this complexity.
