Construction, Engineering and Infrastructure Disputes
We advise on a wide range of construction, engineering and infrastructure disputes, for clients around the world.


Our team advises on disputes based on construction, engineering and PFI/PPP, including those that involve professional negligence. They act for contractors, architects, engineers, consultants, adjudicators and arbitrators – in Scotland, the UK and around the world. Those clients include some of the UK’s largest procurers and suppliers of construction services, across a range of sectors: energy, renewables, utilities, civil engineering, real estate, housing, schools and hospitals.

Our team has extensive experience in all forms of dispute resolution: litigation, adjudication, arbitration, mediation and expert determination, and dispute avoidance. We provide commercial and practical support, taking a forensic approach to complex cases. Our goal is to be trusted advisers, who clients know will help with any query they have.

Our experience includes disputes arising from:

  • Payment, quantum, loss and expense and variations
  • Delay, liquidated damages and extension of time claims
  • Defective works, including claims under the Building Safety Act 2022
  • Prescription and Limitation
  • The application and interpretation of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996
