Construction projects and development

We act for a range of developers, employers, contractors, funders and public bodies to advise on the appropriate procurement and contract structure for your project. We help our clients to achieve their objectives by considering, allocating and mitigating risk. Our depth of experience gives us up to date insight into the current market position on key risks and allows us to anticipate funder requirements.

Construction projects of any scale can be complex and the competing demands of various stakeholders mean that practical, commercial legal advice based on a wealth of knowledge and experience is invaluable.  We are experienced in all aspects of projects and development, from planning, funding, design and construction, to post-construction contract advice and ongoing support. Sectors we work in include built environment, education, emergency services, energy and utilities, healthcare, local government, social housing, retail and leisure and transport.

We advise on the selection, amendment and negotiation of all major forms of contract, such as JCT, NEC, FIDIC, IChemE or we draft bespoke agreements to best suit your project. We have a detailed understanding of necessary requirements such as payment security, professional appointments, warranties, bonds and parent company guarantees.

We understand the need for the thorough, commercial and timely legal advice to ensure that whatever your role, your project is supported by people with an understanding of the demands and pressures of getting a project from inception to completion.
