Construction Disputes

Construction work is often legally complex.

Most construction projects involve several firms, contractors and sub-contractors, creating many interrelated contractual relationships. With so many parties involved, it’s easy to see how things can go wrong. There may be delays, defective work, shoddy workmanship or any number of other issues.

Construction disputes can be expensive and time-consuming. They can threaten long-term business relationships. As such, they are best dealt with at the earliest possible stage. If you anticipate that an issue might become a problem, you should seek legal advice as soon as you can. We offer advice on commercial and construction disputes and, in addition to being a solicitor, Joanne Lezemore is an accredited mediator. Taking early legal advice on your construction dispute can resolve the dispute before any significant losses are accrued, saving you time, expense and stress.

If you have become involved in a construction dispute, your first step should be to try to resolve the issue amicably. In many cases, a solution will be reached. If this does not work, you may try another means of resolving the dispute such as mediation. Failing that, you may wish to take legal action to recover your losses. While we understand the value of maintaining good relations with contractors, it may be necessary to go to court. If this is the case, we will advise you accordingly.
