Unfortunately, despite the stakeholders’ best efforts, disputes arise on construction and engineering projects. We work closely with Clients to identify the merits of the case and, if we are unable to avoid formal action, we advise on all forms of dispute resolution to achieve the best outcome for the Client.
We attempt, where possible, to resolve disputes without the need for formal action using all forms of ADR: mediation, adjudication, expert determination and arbitration. However, if a formal action is unavoidable, we use our specialist construction and engineering legal skills, together with our industry knowledge and sector experience, to our Client’s benefit to enhance its prospects of success.
