Rogers and Norton's Construction team act for Developers; Employers; Contractors; Architects; Surveyors and Suppliers (including builders merchants), providing advice on both contentious and non-contentious issues that affect all those within the construction industry. We regularly advise on JCT contracts and have been praised for our quick turnaround of advice. We also act for international clients developing in United Kingdom.
Peter Hastings and the construction and engineering team deal with court litigation (High Court, County Court & TCC), including injunctive relief and applications relating to arbitral proceedings and the enforcement of Bonds together with extensive experience advising in relation to:
Our non-contentious team advises on the drafting and negotiation of construction contracts. We assist with contractual issues and are quick to understand business needs, giving practical advice in relation to legal challenges.
We advise a wide variety of developers, contractors and sub-contractors. Our solicitors are equally at home advising our international clients on standalone projects as they are supporting our commercial property team. Advice is provided on the construction issues arising out of development agreements, agreements for lease and other development related documentation.
We work with bespoke contracts as well as standard forms such as JCT, NEC3 and FIDIC. It’s important that our advice is carefully tailored to our client’s specific objectives and approach to risk management.
The increase in non-standard documentation and the continual change in standard forms means that the companies need to take great care to ensure their interests are properly protected.
In addition advice is given on a wide range of construction documentation associated with development/project transactions, including professional appointments, building contracts and the preparation of sub-contracts. We also draft all ancillary documentation, including parent company guarantees, performance bonds, retention bonds and collateral warranties.
