About
Provided by Shoosmiths LLP
Our construction law team has advised on some of the UK’s most significant construction projects over the years, including infrastructure projects, commercial/residential schemes, town centre redevelopments, urban regeneration schemes and portfolio acquisition/disposal projects.
Clients can tap into our commercial and contractual experience to explore ways to de-risk projects. We can give strategic advice at scheme inception on procurement and institutional expectations. After works commencement, we can offer transactional support. Our skilled contentious lawyers can help to avoid claims and resolve any disputes that may arise.
We also have specialists who can advise on the development of brownfield sites to ensure that necessary remediation can be identified and carried out satisfactorily, and suitably validated. We can help our clients to put in place appropriate appointments for environmental consultants and remediation engineers.
Our advice factors in the challenges typically faced by our clients. These include issues such as skills shortages, material price volatility, the use of digital tools and offsite construction. We listen to our clients’ concerns, preferences and ambitions. We try to identify all related risks, and offer ideas for potential solutions. Our understanding of the market and knowledge of proposed legislative change means we are able to apply a long-term perspective to our support.
