Construction Disputes

Contractors, developers and sub-contractors can all face significant disruption when a construction dispute arises. With our help, you can minimise the impact on your business.

If you need expert advice with no-obligation to start a case, get in touch or call 0191 5666 500 and speak to our construction dispute solicitors.

Construction disputes can be just as intricate as the projects they stem from.

Multiple contracts. Procurement deals. Bespoke agreements. Joint Contracts Tribunal (JCT) standard form contracts. Detailed T&Cs.

With many parties often involved in construction disputes, due to the long supply chain involved in works, expert evidence may be required to support or counter a claim for damages.

If you could benefit from strategic and cost-efficient legal advice, our construction dispute experts can provide tailored guidance to resolve matters – whether that is through litigation, TCC proceedings, arbitration, adjudication or mediation.

Our construction dispute solicitors are knowledgeable about all aspects of UK law and can act on behalf of a wide range of clients in any sector – from funders and developers to employers, contractors and consultants – for disputes arising from any point during the planning and building phases.
