Construction

Full range of commercial legal services for the construction industry in relation to both contentious and non-contentious issues.


The construction business is subject to a unique combination of legal and commercial imperatives, affecting both private and public sector works. The general risks associated with the industry and the particular complexities of contracts are wide ranging issues that need expert legal guidance if problems are to be avoided.

Weightmans’ nationwide team of construction lawyers provides comprehensive advice in all these matters, particularly in dispute resolution and litigation. The pragmatic and commercial approach we take is shaped by the cumulative experience of experts who have either worked in-house in the construction industry or are dual qualified.

The range of projects we advise on is a reflection of the depth of our practice, incorporating a wide cross-section of the construction and engineering community in both private and public sectors, including PFI work.

As a client, you will benefit particularly from quality advice, delivered in a commercial context and in language that simplifies and clarifies your position. Our approach is to work with you rather than for you, gaining a full understanding of your business and acting as an extension of your in-house team. By developing a collaborative, pro-active relationship, we ensure cost effective delivery and help achieve the best results for your organisation.
