Ashurst's construction lawyers provide construction law and risk
management advice in relation to all aspects of domestic and
international construction procurement.
The construction group advises on the construction aspects of all
types of property investment and development, all types of property
sales and purchases and both publicly and privately financed
energy, transport, infrastructure and regeneration projects.
The group acts for developers, public bodies, funding
institutions, project sponsors, contractors and
consultants.
The group will advise on procurement strategy and structure
(including how and when to use bespoke or standard forms of
contract) and will negotiate all forms of engineering and
construction contracts and associated security documentation.
Contentious construction
Ashurst also has a specialist group of contentious construction
lawyers who are frequently called upon to advise when negotiating
and drafting contracts to ensure that the most appropriate dispute
resolution mechanisms are included. Their advice is readily
available if potential claims arise to protect the client's
position and be prepared for any dispute.
The group advises in relation to both domestic and international
development projects and in relation to civil engineering and
construction projects in the UK and elsewhere.
