We have decades of combined experience across construction law; encompassing major projects, transport, infrastructure and building and property law.
But we are not just a specialist law firm. Our aim is to be a trusted partner and advisor to our clients across your business’s projects and transactions.
The key point of difference is the commerciality and practicality of what we offer, which has been moulded by our founding directors who have decades of tier 1 law firm experience, as well as being embedded in the operations and commercial management at tier 1 contractors.
Whether the task is to initiate a transaction, negotiate a contract, or to navigate complex disputes, Construction Legal provides a complete solution for its clients. This often means more than legal advice is needed. We immerse ourselves into each matter and apply complementary skills – whether they be operational, commercial, technical, engineering, procurement, or contract management – to provide a completely rounded solution for our clients.
