  • Adjudication
  • Arbitration
  • Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
  • Building & Engineering matters
  • Contract documentation
  • Collateral warranties
  • Development agreements
  • Professional advisers’ agreements
  • Professional negligence

Praised for our “great business acumen” by Legal 500, we work closely with our clients on both contentious and non-contentious construction matters.

We have expertise to resolve contentious issues in the appropriate forum, whether that is in the Technology and Construction Court or by way of arbitration, adjudication, ADR or other method of dispute resolution.

Independently researched legal guide, Legal 500, praises Senior Associate Jan Rzedzian for his “depth of knowledge” whilst Chambers notes his “very efficient, prompt, articulate and specific” advice as part of his construction law practice.

One client sums it up by saying “I wouldn’t use anyone else.”

Members of the Federation of Master Builders receive a free half hour consultation.
