Construction

The Yorkshire construction team (West and South) is comprised of experts in their field, many who have moved from larger firms to Freeths, attracted by the Freeths entrepreneurial culture. We offer top 10 firm quality, with a commercial focus, at better value. We help clients resolve their disputes in a commercial, flexible and cost-effective manner – working innovatively to resolve complex claims efficiently. We carry out an early case assessment and establish the routes to resolution, with early exit points, together with indicative costs of each stage of the process. We get to the core of a matter early – identifying the keys to unlocking the barriers to resolution.

The team have worked on a wide range of complex and high value disputes in adjudication, arbitration, litigation ADR, including those in specialist sectors. As a result, they have built up an enviable experience in a number of sectors including:

·        Water

·        Energy

·        Utilities

·        Engineering and Technology

In the past 12 months we have also advised on a number of procurement matters, including:

· Drafting and negotiating building contracts and the related professional appointments and ancillary documents for projects such as residential development, car parks, warehouses.
