What the matter
actually requires.

Construction claims are won or lost in notices, programmes, instructions, certificates and payment records long before proceedings begin.

We advise on FIDIC and bespoke construction contracts, including design responsibility, variations, extension of time, delay, defects, employer instructions, performance security and termination.
