| Procurement and Tenders Successful projects are built on solid foundations. We advise principals, contractors, subcontractors, and consultants on procurement strategy and tender documentation, from identifying the optimal procurement methodology through to preparing, reviewing, and evaluating tender responses. We help you navigate complex procurement processes and ensure your tender is fully conforming, compliant, and commercially sound. Our expertise spans the entire procurement lifecycle, including managing mandatory criteria, identifying non-compliances and departures, and structuring statements of assumptions. We also support clients in participating in joint risk workshops, ensuring mitigation strategies are aligned with project performance objectives and value-for-money outcomes. | | | 
| Construction & Infrastructure Contracts The right contract sets the tone for the entire project. We draft, review, and negotiate construction and infrastructure contracts for all parties across all delivery models. Whether it is a standard form or a bespoke project agreement, we ensure risk is clearly allocated, obligations are precisely defined, and your commercial interests are protected. We also guide clients through the mandatory compliance regimes embedded in most construction contracts ensuring every commitment is accurately drafted, measurable, and capable of being demonstrated. We translate complex contractual language into practical guidance, so you understand exactly what you are committing to. | |
| 
| Project Delivery Construction projects rarely proceed without complications. We provide practical, commercially-focused advice on project delivery, contract administration, and the management of technical and commercial risks. From managing variations and extensions of time through to dealing with defects and practical completion, we help principals, contractors, subcontractors, and consultants navigate the complexities of project delivery and keep projects on track. | | | 
| Security of Payment Cash flow is the lifeblood of construction. We help all parties protect their financial interests under security of payment legislation. Whether you're preparing a compliant payment claim, responding to a payment schedule, managing retention funds, or pursuing adjudication, we provide strategic advice and practical support to ensure you receive the payment you're entitled to. | |
| 
| Claims When disputes arise over variations, extensions of time, latent conditions, or other contractual entitlements, you need expert advice. We help principals, contractors, subcontractors, and consultants prepare, present, and defend claims. We ensure your claim is well-documented, technically sound, and supported by clear evidence. We also help you respond to claims made against you, protecting your commercial position. | | | 
| Security Protecting your business requires understanding and managing risk. We advise on all forms of security arrangements, including bank guarantees, retention funds, personal guarantees, indemnities, and PPSR registrations. We help principals, contractors, subcontractors, and consultants understand their security obligations, assess their exposure, and implement protections that are appropriate to the risks involved. | |
| 
| Insurance Insurance is a critical risk management tool, but it's often misunderstood. We help all parties understand their insurance obligations under construction contracts, review insurance policies to ensure they provide adequate cover, and navigate the insurance claims process. We work with you to ensure your insurance arrangements are fit for purpose and provide the protection you need. | | | 
| Dispute Resolution Disputes are costly, time-consuming, and disruptive. We help principals, contractors, subcontractors, and consultants resolve disputes efficiently and commercially through negotiation, mediation, expert determination, and arbitration. When litigation becomes unavoidable, we develop winning strategies and provide expert advocacy. Our focus is always on achieving the best outcome for you while minimizing cost, delay, and disruption to your business. | |
