dispute resolution in the
construction industry
Our Construction and Development group comprises a team of

There are four types of dispute resolution, which the
Construction and Development group can advise you on:
- litigation, which involves all aspects of litigation in the
courts including proceedings in the Technology and Construction
Court. On 1 October 2007, the Technology and Construction Court
issued a revised guide to the Court,
