Whether you need a contract drafted, an agreement reviewed, or support with negotiations, our focus is on providing advice that is practical and protects your commercial interests. We work to ensure your contracts are clear, legally effective, and allocate risk appropriately.
We advise on construction contracts against the background of the Building Safety Act 2022, where applicable, and other related legislation, helping clients address building safety obligations, fire safety provisions, professional indemnity insurance issues, allocation of design, compliance and defect risk, and contract wording for information management and “golden thread” requirements.
Our advice is designed to help you understand how legal and regulatory requirements affect your contracts and project documentation.
