Constructing the team

Construction is a diverse, complex and multibillion-pound industry. The rewards can be high - but so can the risks. Working as an extension of your in-house teams, our construction lawyers provide practical and commercial legal advice during all phases of the construction process. We will work with you to identify and manage risk and put your business in the best possible position to overcome challenges and deliver successful construction projects.

We know that a successful, high-quality partnership is built on strong and longstanding relationships. We work closely with major contractors, leading real estate developers, employers, funds and end-users within some of the sector's biggest players to help bring ambitious plans to life.

We want to become a key part of your team, providing one-stop advice from project conception to completion. Through our experience of working with clients across the industry, we understand the issues you face, the obstacles to avoid and the proactive steps needed to maintain momentum on any project.
