Construction and planning
Our team regularly advise on complex construction and real estate development projects. Work spans a variety of different industries but notable sport specific work includes advising Millwall Football Club on its development of a state-of-the-art Academy and related infrastructure projects.
We’ve recently strengthened our construction team with a new Construction Partner, Vijay Bange. Formerly Head of the London Construction Practice at Duane Morris and Co-Chair of their International Arbitration Division, Vijay brings deep expertise in complex construction disputes and international arbitration.
We’ll use our experience to anticipate any challenges that may arise in your construction projects to make sure you can plan ahead and achieve your goals with as little fuss as possible. Whatever the stage of the project, from taking a proposed scheme through planning and procurement, developing out, funding, designing and building, or if problems occur during construction, our team has successfully travelled a similar road many times before.
We work with clients throughout their projects to help them avoid disputes and to prevent them escalating. However, when this isn’t possible, we have an impressive record of resolving disputes cost effectively. Our team includes a lawyer who previously worked as an engineer, so we are in a unique position of being able to understand complex technical projects from a practical as well as legal perspective. We value long-term relationships and are well versed in assisting clients achieve their development goals over projects which may last a number of years.
