Construction and Engineering
We understand that construction and engineering projects bring with them a host of concerns, demanding schedules, vulnerable supply chains and fragile profit margins. With a considerable team of specialist construction and engineering lawyers, our advisory expertise spans the construction cycle, from strategy to completion. We are part of a wider team that includes experts in Dispute Resolution, who provide advice when issues become contentious.
