Your Team

Are You Facing a Construction Dispute?

Construction projects are often legally and commercially complex. Issues can arise at any stage — from procurement and tendering, through to delivery and final payment. If you’re experiencing tension or legal uncertainty on a project, early advice from a construction solicitor is vital to protect your position and resolve matters efficiently.

We support clients facing a wide range of disputes, including:

  • Delays, Disruption and Cost Overruns
    Whether caused by unforeseen site conditions, contractor delays or poor coordination, project overruns are a frequent cause of dispute. Our construction legal advice focuses on enforcing or defending claims for extensions of time, loss and expense, and liquidated damages.

  • Defective Design or Workmanship
    Poor construction quality, design errors or non-compliance with specifications can lead to serious commercial consequences. Our construction law specialists act swiftly in claims involving negligent design, defective building work, or breach of statutory duties.

  • Breach of Contract or Professional Negligence
    Disputes may arise where parties fail to fulfil contractual obligations, miss deadlines, or deliver substandard work. We represent clients in breach of contract claims, and provide robust legal strategies involving negligent architects, engineers and surveyors.

  • Payment Disputes and Non-Payment
    Late or withheld payments are among the most common causes of construction conflict. We advise clients on recovering unpaid fees, dealing with “pay less” notices, and securing interim relief through construction adjudication where necessary.

  • Issues with Procurement or Tendering
    From unfair award procedures to contractual ambiguity, procurement problems can quickly escalate. We provide construction law advice covering all aspects of procurement compliance, contractual fairness and dispute avoidance in tendering processes.

  • Subcontractor and Consultant Conflicts
    Disagreements frequently arise between main contractors, subcontractors, and consultants — especially around scope, variations and liability. Our construction contract solicitors are skilled in resolving multi-party disputes efficiently through adjudication, construction mediation, or litigation where needed.

  • Adjudication Enforcement and Injunctive Relief
    If an adjudicator's decision is not complied with, swift action is essential. We regularly represent clients in the enforcement of adjudication awards in the Technology and Construction Court and can seek injunctions or other urgent relief to preserve your rights.

Whatever the nature or complexity of your dispute, Adam Benedict provides responsive, commercially strategic advice tailored to your objectives. We are experts in construction dispute resolution, offering clear pathways to favourable outcomes, whether through construction litigation, mediation or proactive negotiation.
