Construction & Engineering Dispute Resolution

Noted for a "pragmatic and no-nonsense approach", its "tenacity and thoroughness" and our "clear strategic advice, commerciality and commitment to achieving client goals", our Construction and Engineering Dispute Resolution team is one of the UK's leading construction and engineering dispute practices.

Our team - which consists of six partners and 12 associates – concentrate entirely on disputes arising out of construction and engineering projects in the United Kingdom and internationally. This includes disputes arising out of commercial / retail developments; leisure and sport facilities; power, energy and process engineering; professional indemnity and heavy engineering and dredging.

Our team has a wealth of experience in all forms of disputes and members have been involved in some of the most high profile and complicated disputes over the past few years. This includes being at the centre of the litigation surrounding the design and construction of the Wembley National Stadium project in London.

We have substantial experience in all forms of dispute resolution, including expert determination, mediation, dispute review boards, adjudication (statutory and contractual), arbitration (domestic and international), and litigation (Technology and Construction Court and the Commercial Court in England and Wales; the Court of Session in Scotland; and courts in other jurisdictions including Australia and Hong Kong SAR). We also have significant experience in disputes involving procurement; delay and disruption; design; acceleration; termination; claims for fees; professional negligence; defects; and disputes arising out of guarantees, bonds and insurance policies.

Our partners speak regularly at industry conferences, and our associates are regularly seconded to clients.
