We have extensive experience of resolving disputes in the following forums:

Construction Adjudication

Adjudication is now the dominant forum for dispute resolution in the construction and engineering industries, and is an area in which we have vast experience in acting for both Claimants and Respondents.

This also includes extensive experience of enforcing Adjudicator’s decisions in the Courts.

Mediation

We have resolved a number of complex disputes through our mediation services. Naturally our professional involvement includes every aspect of preparation and client representation in this process.

Arbitration

We have handled numerous arbitrations for contractors, sub-contractors and employers in the UK and internationally.

Litigation

We have extensive experience of bringing and defending claims in all Courts, but particularly the Technology and Construction Court.

Negotiation

Negotiation continues to be an important tool in resolving disputes or in agreeing appropriate terms at the outset of a project. Our commercial approach and advice will always involve strategies which include negotiation where that is appropriate.

Conciliation

We have represented various contractors under the ICE conciliation process, preparing the submissions and providing advocacy at hearings.

Early Neutral Evaluation:

This is a relatively new procedure that is (in our experience) becoming increasingly popular. We have extensive experience of representing both Claimants and Defendants at Early Neutral Evaluation hearings.
