At iLaw, our Construction Disputes Solicitors partner with clients across the UK to resolve contentious issues arising in construction and engineering projects.
Our Team
Our Construction Disputes Solicitors build on our recognised expertise in commercial disputes. We are recognised by Chambers and Partners and Legal 500 for our work in the SME and mid-market space.
We have formed a specialist team in collaboration with a leading set of barristers’ chambers and a network of industry leading consultants (‘Our Team’).
Our Offering
Our Team advises across the spectrum of residential and commercial construction disputes, including in relation to contract disputes, variations, defects, remediation, delays, valuations, payment disputes, termination, compensation and damages, as well as professional liabilities.
Our Team represents private and public clients, including contractors, subcontractors, developers, investors, professional advisors (such as architects, quantity surveyors and engineers) and employers.
Our offering is not limited to dispute resolution. We can advise and guide you through the procurement and contracting processes, including drafting bespoke amendments to standard form contracts in line with your risk profile and appetite.
Commerciality
We understand the commercial imperatives attached to disputes in the construction sector, including the necessity to minimise project disruption and/or the prospect of insolvency issues arising.
Where it is possible to do so, we work with clients to avoid formal disputes entirely and where it is not possible to do so, we work with clients to secure expedited outcomes through the relevant forum.
Forum
We are experienced in Mediation, Adjudication, Arbitration and Litigation, domestically and internationally. We can advise and guide you whatever the forum.
International reach
As a member of the International Commercial Law Alliance, a network of some 50 law firms around the world, we are uniquely placed to coordinate and respond to disputes with an international dimension.
Complexity
The standardisation of construction contracts has provoked an overconfidence among some participants in the construction industry.
The complexity of construction contracts and the statutory provisions which apply to (and in some instances override) those contracts have created fertile ground for technical disputes.
We have expertise in navigating the key construction contracts and statutory provisions and can guide you quickly and efficiently to identify and address the core of your dispute.
Early Expert Intervention
Early expert intervention is particularly critical in construction disputes which tend to move at a pace unrivalled in any other commercial sector and to involve commercial imperatives absent from other commercial disputes.
We are experts at managing, mitigating and eliminating risk.
How to Get in Touch
If you are a contractor, subcontractor, developer, investor, professional advisor (such as an architect, quantity surveyor or engineer) or employer facing a construction dispute, it is important to seek legal advice as early as possible.
At iLaw, our Construction Disputes Solicitors are experienced in resolving disputes efficiently and always acts in our clients’ best interests. We can assist wherever you are based and offer a no-obligation initial discussion to explore how we might be able to help.
