• Our specialist team of lawyers advises on all aspects of construction, engineering and procurement for a wide variety of social and economic infrastructure projects for new build, refurbishment and repairs and maintenance projects.

    We act for clients from all parts of the public sector together with developers, investors, funders, contractors and mixed consortia, with a real breadth of sector expertise including regeneration, development, housing, education, leisure, health, energy, waste and highways.

    Our experience of structuring and delivering projects across a wide-range of sectors gives us the depth of knowledge to provide our clients with relevant and commercial solutions-driven advice.

    We are used to working as part of the team from the outset to help shape the procurement and contracting strategies. Once the strategy has been set we have the skills to implement it through the preparation and negotiation of all documentation necessary to take your project from an aspiration into reality.

     

  • We work with all of the sector-specific standard forms and will recommend the preparation of bespoke contracts where the situation justifies such an approach. For more complex projects, our expertise covers both contractual and corporate joint venture arrangements, alliancing structures and other forms of collaborative arrangements.

    Our clients include central government agencies such as the Education Funding Agency and the Department of Health, local authorities, NHS Trusts, Registered Providers, major contractors, specialist sub-contractors, consultants, funders and investors.

    For our public sector clients, we also have specialist construction procurement lawyers who can guide you through the procurement regulations and structure competitions that are attractive to the market.
