Key Areas of Non-Contentious Construction Law

Drafting & Reviewing Contracts

Ensuring construction contracts are properly drafted and reviewed is essential to protecting your interests. We assist with contracts under JCT, NEC, and FIDIC frameworks, as well as bespoke agreements, ensuring clarity on responsibilities, liabilities, and payment terms.

Risk Management & Compliance

Construction projects involve multiple legal and regulatory obligations. We advise on health and safety regulations, insurance requirements, and compliance measures to prevent disputes and protect project financing.

Contract Negotiation

Before work begins, we help contractors and developers negotiate fair contract terms that allocate risk appropriately and align with industry standards.

Procurement & Payment Advice

Ensuring that procurement processes and payment terms are legally sound is critical for smooth project financing. We advise on contract structures, retention payments, and risk allocation in supplier agreements.

Ongoing Legal Advice During Construction

We provide legal guidance throughout the project to help manage contract variations, payment issues, extensions of time, and unforeseen challenges—ensuring you get paid on time and in full.
