Projects built on sound foundations
From the smallest to the largest, a construction project may involve protecting the interests of developers, contractors, owners, consultants, banks, funds, government and other public sector bodies and power and utility companies. William Sturges’ construction and development business group has represented them all, building the experience and sector knowledge needed to provide timely, reliable advice throughout the timeline of a project.
There may be ‘standard’ ways of doing things, but in our experience every project requires non-standard contract provisions and implementation. Sound knowledge of construction law combined with input from property, tax, planning and finance colleagues allows us to out flexible, responsive teams in place which can keep projects on track.
From the visionary beginnings of a construction process, including design, procurement, tendering, contract drafting and letting, we support clients, also providing counsel on matters such as warranties, bonds and guarantees, novation agreements and sub-contracts. We are regularly asked to advise on PFI schemes, commercial and residential property development and civil engineering projects.
When matters become contentious, the construction and development business group is ready to field litigation and arbitration experts armed with sector-specific knowledge.
