Property & Construction > Construction and Engineering Liability

  • Failure of construction projects
  • Adjoining owners claims
  • Latent defects
  • Contractors All Risks coverage disputes
  • JCT responsibility disputes
  • Risk allocation and co-insurance

Major construction projects invariably give rise to liabilities and litigation which can only be cost-effectively resolved by lawyers with detailed technical knowledge of the industry and of the applicable contracts and insurances.

Over the years, we have used our technical knowledge to resolve disputes over liability for some very major events, such as the complete failure of the drainage infrastructure of a new motorway and the collapse of prison walls under wind loading.

We also handle a wide range of lower-value cases, such as damage caused through equipment failure and damage to adjoining properties. Whatever the size of the potential loss, every case is handled by a fee-earner with the necessary technical insight and experience to identify and focus on the key issues.
