Building and construction disputes are often complex and can involve wide ranging issues. Stephens Scown's Dispute Resolution team has extensive experience in advising contractors, developers and other industry professionals on construction disputes.
Our team can provide practical, commercial and cost effective advice on how best to resolve any disputes that arise in the course of your business, including disputes arising out of breaches of construction contracts. We can advise on standard form contracts, such as JCT contracts and also on legislation such as the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996.
We believe that it is very important that we are involved in advising you at an early stage. That way we can advise you on how best to avoid a full blown dispute, for example by pursuing negotiation or mediation, which could ultimately save you legal costs and limit the disruption to your business.
If negotiation or mediation is unsuccessful or is not appropriate in the circumstances, our team can advise you on other options, such as arbitration, adjudication, expert determination and the issue of court proceedings.
