About

Our team of construction experts advise on some of the most complicated and high profile projects, applying innovative solutions to achieve our client’s objectives. Our clients range from private sector developers to central and local government, contractors, consultants and investors and include some of the most successful and influential organisations in the UK and the Middle East. 

Our team includes specialists in residential and commercial development, engineering and major projects, asset management and offsite and modern construction methods such as modular procurement. 

 We have a wealth of experience dealing with the identification, analysis and allocation of construction-related risks relevant to the markets and sectors in which our clients operate. We deliver clear focused advice on the issues that matter and are committed to delivering outstanding client service together with legal and technical excellence.

We are often called upon to participate in governmental and industry body working groups (such as the Housing Forum Working Group on Modern Methods of Construction and Government working groups post Hackitt Review) and help shape industry best practice, for example we are advising the Ministry of Housing on expediting the acceptance of modern methods of construction by warranty insurance providers.
