Our experienced team of construction lawyers acts for clients involved in all aspects of construction: building, civil engineering, mechanical and electrical engineering, process engineering.

We advise clients in both the public and private sectors, including health, education, charities, commercial, residential and mixed development, roads, retail, hotels, leisure, building materials, food, water, and pharmaceutical. We act for developers, institutional investors, main contractors, specialist sub-contractors, construction industry professionals (architects, project managers, quantity surveyors, building surveyors, engineers and the like). We provide practical, commercial advice to suit the business needs of our clients and to achieve pragmatic solutions which minimise risk and maximise control. We work very closely with the other teams in our Commercial Group - commercial property, dispute resolution, company and commercial, planning and employment.

We handle all types of construction projects from inception to completion, from a minor fit-out to a complete office development, indoor ski slope or automated high-bay distribution warehouse; or from a small extension to a major city hotel or large residential development. We advise on:

= Procurement - the most suitable contractual route for the project
