| Cobbetts has not only recognised that there has been substantial change in the construction industry in the last five years but that these changes reflect directly on what the industry expects from its construction lawyers.
The construction industry and its marketplace have changed with supply chain management, partnering, frameworks, public / private partnerships, facility management and new funding routes. At the same time, there has been a transformation in construction legal services following the introduction of adjudication and the Woolf/CPR reforms at the end of the 1990s.
Our team of construction lawyers have the skills required to provide a cost effective and commercially attractive service on a whole range of issues including:
- Property development and banking support work for clients engaged in the development and funding of property / construction interests.
- Project and facility management work for the public sector, the RSL / housing association sector, health and PFI projects, and for the mechanical, process engineering and utility sector.
- Dispute avoidance and resolution advice – both during and at the conclusion of construction and engineering projects.
Our construction lawyers also boast a track record of experience on major projects such as the reported Dudley Hospitals litigation, a series of reported adjudication cases, the Millennium Stadium and the new Leicester City Football Ground, PFI and ProCure 21 projects. The team has handled national and international projects, dispute resolution and mediations in places as diverse as Russia, Holland, Ireland and China.
