Construction
Dispute-led support for contractors, developers, funders and project teams
Construction disputes typically involve compressed timetables, multi-party factual matrices and highly technical causation and quantum issues. When projects slip, defects emerge or payment is withheld, the response must be structured, evidence-driven and commercially realistic.
We act for employers, contractors, subcontractors, developers, funders and professional teams in adjudication, arbitration and litigation. We also support clients in managing project risk and positioning issues for resolution without unnecessary disruption to delivery.
Our expertise in construction disputes
Adjudication, arbitration and High Court litigation
We handle disputes involving:
- Payment and pay-less notice disputes

- Defects, design responsibility and latent defects disputes
- Termination, suspension and insolvency-related project issues

Professional negligence and project team claims
We act in claims involving:
- Architects, engineers, project managers, contract administrators and consultants
- Design failure, specification disputes and compliance issues
- Causation and quantum strategy supported by appropriate experts
Project governance failures and evidence strategy
We advise on dispute-readiness and evidence control, including:
- Notice regimes and strict contractual timetables
- Document management, contemporaneous records and programme integrity
- Expert instruction strategy and technical evidence planning
- Negotiation and mediation strategy aligned to programme pressure and cash flow
How we work with construction and infrastructure clients
- Forum-driven strategy: adjudication speed versus arbitration/court finality
- Technical discipline: experts engaged early to control causation and quantum
- Commercial realism: cost/benefit analysis and settlement windows
- Multi-party management: apportionment and recovery planning built in
