Construction and Engineering Disputes

Taylor Wessing's Construction and Engineering group offers a full service capability in the domestic and international construction and projects arena.

As well as its strong reputation in transactional and sustainability areas, it is highly rated for its skills in resolving disputes by both its peers and its clients. The group's approach is flexible, cost sensitive, and it has wide experience of all methods of dispute resolution. Members of the group have in-depth experience of advising on construction and engineering disputes from solution through negotiation to the more traditional dispute resolution methods of arbitration, expert determination and litigation proceedings.

The group is well versed in the use of alternative dispute resolution techniques, in particular adjudication, including where this process is used as a tactical device requiring a responsive team capable of handling substantial and complex issues within tight timescales. The use of mediation to resolve disputes is proving increasingly popular and the group has three accredited mediators.
