Construction contractors face unique legal challenges and risks in today's complex building environment.

We understand smaller contractors and sub-contractors need swift, practical advice that considers site realities, cash flow demands, and project timelines.

Our experience in regularly dealing with the biggest contractors and developers is vital for smaller and sub-contractor clients in negotiating fair terms, challenging onerous conditions, and ensuring payment security. We know which points to push on and how the other party and it's lawyers are likely to approach issues.
