Government healthcare and construction industry lawyers in the Private Sector
Private Sector
We have experience of contract negotiations and disputes involving home owners, construction contractors, subcontractors and suppliers, and professional consultants.
We are familiar with the particularly acute cash-flow constraints that are a feature of the construction industry.
We have particular expertise in obtaining interim payments in adjudication and achieving negotiated settlements before excessive expense or exposure to risk is incurred.
As a private legal practice ourselves, we bring a commercial consciousness to the table with our legal expertise. We too have to manage cashflow, and deal with a variety of bodies with differing levels of bargaining power. We aim to advise you on what is legally possible in a context of what is commerically realistic.
We are also conscious that dispute resolution processes can move with great rapidity in the construction industry. We are familiar from taking cases to trial in court with the evidence that is ideally required to prove or defend a claim, and can help you to assemble this rapidly if, for example, you find yourself responding to a referral to adjudication, or entering a mediation or without prejudice negotiation. We will also help you find technical experts to assess the performance of your project partners and provide opinion evidence on liability and quantum if required.
Our Principal has acted successfully as mediator and mediation advocate in a number of construction disputes involving private parties with and without insurance.
