Clear strategies to manage contract variations, delays, defects, and subcontractor risks across every stage of the construction lifecycle.

Construction projects turn on the strength of their records. From variations and late instructions to delay claims and subcontractor issues, legal risk often emerges at the intersection of contracts, timelines, and execution. When challenges arise, it’s the documentation—not the theory—that drives resolution.

We provide legal clarity at every stage of project delivery: from contract baselining and claims strategy to dispute resolution, expert coordination, and enforcement.

Mandates

Our mandates typically include: developing claim strategies, managing contract baselines, coordinating with delay and quantum experts, leading ADR or arbitration processes, and enforcing awards or negotiated settlements.

Key Risks to Watch

Construction clients often face issues such as:

• Variations without proper instruction or pricing
• Delay and defect claims unsupported by contemporaneous records
• Subcontractor defaults or poor performance
• Late responses to security calls or contract triggers

Performance Insights

We help clients assess and control project legal health using key metrics such as: delay claim success rate, variation closure speed, settlement recovery time, and dispute lifecycle duration.
