The Building Safety Act

Projects, Infrastructure & Construction

Whether you are funding, supplying, designing and constructing, servicing or otherwise operating in the built environment, or in infrastructure and the connectivity of things, the change and innovation you’re seeing in terms of modern methods of construction, the digital economy, integrated procurement and delivery partnerships, globalisation of supply chains, new funding structures and alternative forms of dispute resolution are just some of the areas that you will need to understand and navigate to manage your risk and reward.

Planning

It’s the vital first step for building projects large and small. But the planning and consenting systems are not easy to navigate. Decades of tinkering in law, policy and regulation have created a machine which may seem confusing or even contradictory to outside observers.

Property Litigation

The law governing property is constantly changing. This can create the prospect of real estate disputes, now or in the future – which can prove costly in terms of lost opportunities, revenue and even reputation.

Construction and commercial

We advise on contracting strategy in respect of offsite construction, procurement routes (including via frameworks), and draft and review contracts. We work with most industry standard form contracts (such as JCT contracts) and also deal with bespoke contractual amendments.

We also advise clients on risk mitigation strategies and tactics, and in dealing with construction or commercial disputes such as adjudications and litigation.

Plot Sales

Our approach to site set up is focused on limiting and avoiding incoming enquiries from buyers’ solicitors to achieve your exchange deadlines by pre-empting road blocks that your buyers may encounter.

We understand the unique challenges faced in the MMC plot sales process and highlight practical solutions to secure exchanges.
