Construction Services
The construction unit deals with both non-contentious and contentious construction related matters on behalf of all participants in the industry. We pride ourselves on providing no-nonsense practical advice - often on a same-day basis where feasible.
We are proud to be listed in the independent legal directory Legal 500 and our appointment as panel solicitors for a number of trade organisations, which involves providing advice to members on the full range of construction issues, particularly in relation to non-payment.
