Contentious construction and engineering

The skill and specialist experience of our contentious construction and engineering team, added to the comprehensive understanding of industry practices, enables us to specialise in complex, high-value, high-profile disputes both nationally and internationally.

We advise on all forms of the resolution and avoidance of construction and engineering related disputes. Our lawyers have in-depth knowledge of international and domestic arbitrations, and conduct arbitrations under the rules of all the major international arbitration institutions, as well as under "ad hoc" procedures in venues in Europe and the Middle East. We use all forms of ADR procedures where appropriate.

Types of claims on which we advise include defects claims, performance-related disputes, cost overrun claims and loss and expense and damages claims. We also advise clients on professional liability issues.

Our lawyers are committed to provide our clients with the best legal advice, working with a full understanding of clients commercial requirements. We act for blue-chip clients ranging from multinational corporates and financial institutions to governments and state-owned entities. We provide a truly global service to our clients, who also benefit from our alliance with Herbert Smith and Gleiss Lutz.
