We provide a comprehensive service to clients involved in the construction and engineering industries. We have a broad range of experience in all aspects of construction and engineering law. Our dedicated construction group provides legal advice to clients operating on all sides of these industries.

Our work covers the drafting and negotiation of contracts for supply, installation and construction, appointments, collateral warranties, performance bonds and parent company guarantees. If problems arise, we are skilled in mediation, adjudication, litigation and arbitration (both domestic and international) and can provide help as appropriate. We are used to handling all kinds of construction related disputes from professional negligence to fee claims, final account claims and extensions of time.

On a wider front our corporate department acts for various overseas companies which export engineering and process plant into the UK, with a particular emphasis on the Germanic countries.  By way of example, we advise some of these on substantial PFI projects.  Our understanding of construction issues has been particularly helpful in the M&A work we have carried out for engineering companies.  Our technology and IP lawyers have also advised on the IP aspects of construction products and services.
