Modern Methods of Construction

Commercial, Tech & Data

Whether or not your company has an in-house legal function, running a business today presents many complex challenges.

We think it’s important that we genuinely get to know our clients businesses – that’s how we can deliver value that goes beyond just the monetary.

Dispute Resolution

Our disputes team focus on providing project management support to both mitigate risk and to assist with practical project management such as payment – a key risk factor in MMC projects.

In addition, we advise on strategies to deal with disputes such as adjudications or other forms of dispute resolution.

Health & Safety

MMC provides greater control over the working environment, which is already a risk limiting factor on the H&S front.

However, we advise on risk minimisation strategies and compliance, and on all matters relating to enforcement action under health and safety law.

Planning

We help our clients navigate the complex planning system.  We can negotiate section 106 agreements and review draft planning conditions to ensure a project is suitable for off-site construction including customisation of the DfMA to local planning requirements.

Where clients are purchasing land with the benefit of an existing permission, we can assist in the pre-acquisition due diligence and, where appropriate in the re-negotiation of existing section 106 agreements.

Procurement

Public bodies are under increasing pricing pressure to procure smartly and in a cost effective manner.

Our team of expert lawyers can operate on both sides of the procurement process, for contracting authorities and for bidding parties.

Real Estate

We provide transactional services ranging from early input on Heads of Terms and deal structures involving off-site manufacturing/construction through to detailed drafting, negotiation and completion of development agreements, estate transfers, golden brick (or similar) structures and ancillary documents.
