This experience extends to development, development finance, drafting and negotiating bespoke contractual arrangements, guarantees and bonds, PFI and PPP, and urban regeneration. On the dispute side, we have significant experience of handling disputes relating to the design and construction of railways, airports, sports stadia, power stations, dredging, office, retail and leisure space as well as claims for professional negligence. Our solicitors regularly act for clients in expert determinations, mediations, adjudication, arbitrations and litigation (Technology and Construction Court and Commercial Court). Our associates are seconded regularly to clients to gain hands-on practical experience of how the industry operates.
