Construction Solicitors

Our construction dispute lawyers help resolve construction and building disputes through litigation or mediation

Commercial construction disputes can be complex and involved. We can help with legal advice about all aspects of construction law and contract law.

We can also help clients resolve disputes with builders or contractors over work on a residential property.

Experienced construction lawyers

Our dispute resolution team includes experienced litigation lawyers and a construction law specialist skilled in resolving construction disputes, including claims for breach of contract, breach of statutory duties, breach of statutory regulations, and professional negligence and civil fraud.

We work with residential private clients, housebuilders, materials suppliers, contractors, specialist sub-contractors, ground works, piling contractors, roofing contractors, and construction professionals such as project managers, architects, quantity surveyors, engineers, and surveyors, to settle disputes.

Get in touch with us to find out how we can provide cost-effective and pragmatic solutions to try and resolve disputes and help our clients achieve their aims.

How we can help to resolve construction disputes

To help our clients to resolve construction and building disputes, our construction lawyers can:

  • Give legal advice about construction law and contract law, construction arbitration, and alternative dispute resolution.
  • Represent you through negotiations, arbitration, and construction adjudication.
  • Provide dispute mediation services.
  • Act for or represent you in legal proceedings in the civil courts.

Litigation solicitors

Where possible, our construction solicitors will always look to ways of achieving settlements that will save our clients the costs of going to court, but sometimes litigation is the only available course.

Our team has the expertise and experience to act for you, including making applications for injunctions, and representation in the Technology and Construction Court.

If you are facing litigation brought by another party in a dispute, we can act for you in defending the action and sometimes we are still able to negotiate with the other side or their representatives to seek an alternative way of achieving a settlement.

Disputes with builders and contractors

Our dispute resolution lawyers can help clients involved in disputes with builders or contractors over sub-standard work on a residential or commercial property.

We advise and act for clients involved in building disputes over work on their property by builders and contractors, including disputes over defective workmanship or materials, claims for negligence, and payment.

Contact us to arrange to talk to a property disputes specialist to find out how we can assist you.

Try mediation to achieve settlement

We can provide commercial and construction dispute mediation services from our in-house specialist.

If you have a genuine desire to resolve your dispute without going to court or an arbitration hearing, the facts have already been established, and the other party is also willing to take part in the process, discussions can take place, under a confidentiality agreement, which can hopefully lead to a settlement.
