We provide construction advice to a broad range of clients including land owners, developers, housebuilders, Registered Providers of social housing, investors, contractors, sub-contractors, and consultants with respect to property development, regeneration and infrastructure projects.
We understand that the procuring of construction projects can be complex. We are adept at balancing various stakeholders’ interests such as lenders, purchasers, tenants, and investors and can provide cost effective advice to all stakeholders throughout the construction phase of a development.
Our partners and senior associate lawyers can advise you on:-
- drafting and negotiating bespoke variations to JCT design and build contracts
- drafting and negotiating Development Agreements
- negotiating parent company guarantees and insurance backed performance bonds
- negotiating collateral warranties particularly from Architects, Engineers and other specialists
We provide a multi-disciplinary service in conjunction with our property development team to drive forward all types of development projects through site assembly, planning, construction, and forward funding to site disposal and recovery of capital investment.
We also have extensive experience in dispute resolution including ADR to help competing stakeholders resolve issues and to get construction projects back on track. However, we recognise that this does not always work so our Partner led litigation team has a great deal of experience in contentious work relating to consultant fee arrangements and professional negligence claims for defects in design or other breaches of professional duty and we provide cost effective support whether to bring or to defend claims against contractors and consultants
