Construction Disputes
The team provides specialist advice and assistance in relation to any construction disputes. We have a wide range of experience in advising owners, employers, developers, main contractors, sub-contractors, funders, architects, surveyors, agents and other construction professionals in relation to issues involving construction projects.
In our experience, early intervention in construction disputes is often important to help avoid becoming tied up in lengthy litigation. This may be by way of advising on the meaning and effect of contractual clauses, identifying remedies and practical steps that can be taken or assisting with negotiating a resolution. The team's expertise includes providing assistance with:
Contract disputes
whether standard form contracts such as Joint Contracts Tribunal (JCT), New Engineering Contracts (NEC), Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) or individually negotiated contracts
Professional negligence disputes
Disputes or issues regarding payments
(including in connection with Pay Less Notices under the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996)
Defects disputes
including those asserted by way of set-off, counterclaim or abatement
Delay and extensions of time claims
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) including mediation
Adjudication, including under the Scheme for Construction Contracts

There are a number of complicated terms and acronyms in construction law that can be confusing, we have therefore created a useful glossary of all these terms here.
