Benefits we bring to you
One of the most common causes of disputes in the construction industry is that a contract isn't clear. Another very common cause is that one party has misunderstood what they were supposed to do, what their responsibility was, or the extent of their potential liability.
We make sure that our construction contracts are written in clear, plain English with no jargon. Whether we are preparing your contracts or resolving disputes, we will make sure that you properly understand your responsibilities and potential exposures.
We act mainly for developers, funders, occupiers and other end users. We also act for professional consultants - mainly architects, engineers and quantity surveyors.
