We act for a range of developers, contractors, funders and public bodies, advising on the appropriate procurement and contract structure, helping our clients to achieve their objectives while mitigating the key risks. Our experience gives us key insights into the current market position on key risks and allows us to anticipate funder requirements.

Construction projects of any scale can be complex and the competing demands of various stakeholders mean that practical, commercial legal advice based on a wealth of knowledge and experience is invaluable. We are experienced in all aspects of projects and development, from planning, funding, design and construction, to post-construction contract advice and ongoing support. Sectors we work in include commercial, industrial, student accommodation, PRS, retail and leisure, public, infrastructure, utilities, waste and energy.

We advise on the selection and negotiation of all major forms of contract, such as NEC, ICC, ENNA, IChemE, Orgalime, AIA, VOB and bespoke agreements to best suit your project, with a detailed understanding of requirements such as payment security, professional appointments, warranties, bonds and parent company guarantees.

We understand the need for the thorough, commercial and timely legal advice to ensure that whatever your role, your project is supported by people with an understanding of the demands and pressures of getting a project from inception to completion.

We understand the need for certainty and continuity in a commercial environment. Our frameworks and facilities management experts can deliver the right framework for your business and supply chain.

Robust long term collaborative framework agreements can provide the right environment to ensure that you and your supply chain understand exactly what is expected. We advise a range of procurement and construction professionals on how to establish the right framework to meet the needs of your business. We have advised on many types of frameworks, including planned and reactive maintenance, refurbishment, solar, cleaning and major project works.

We have experience in drafting bespoke framework agreements and advising on the appropriate standard JCT and NEC forms, as well as PFI contracts and Dynamic Purchasing Systems (DPS). We understand the value of framework agreements in avoiding repeated contract negotiation and admin costs and can advise on the appropriate forms to best protect your interests.
