Construction Contracts

Our construction solicitors input goes beyond pure contract drafting and encompasses strategic advice and risk management based on our extensive experience.

Myerson are recognised for being pragmatic, commercial, and getting the deal done.

Our construction lawyers appreciate that it is not a great use of your time drafting and negotiating contracts.

Our construction team can free up your time to concentrate on what you do best, and you can be confident that you will be given the solutions you need when you need them.

You will have a committed team who will be focused on achieving your milestones and will work with you for the construction project's duration.

Our style is to be proactive and work with you and your other advisers to achieve your objectives.

As expert construction contract solicitors, we aim to add value by facilitating the development process rather than hindering it.

• Our team of construction solicitors acted for a public/private joint venture developer on a £100M project in the North West which includes extensive infrastructure works and a link road to unlock the site. The project includes a 25-acre industrial park and 500 homes. The Myerson team were working with the developer on the complex phasing of the construction contracts and professional team appointments as well as supporting the client on the funding arrangements.
• Our construction team has advised a major Manchester-based residential developer on preparing and updating a suite of standard precedent documentation for use on their projects including sub-contracts, appointments, collateral warranties, guarantees and standard forms for notices. Our construction contract solicitors provided support on the negotiation of contract documentation with multiple parties including high-value sub-contract packages and warranties. Our construction lawyers also regularly provided strategic support on contentious matters, insolvency, and insurance issues.
• Our construction solicitors have recently been advising the owners in relation to the re-cladding of the building in addition to internal fire protection works arising out of the Grenfell Tower tragedy. This has included legal advice in relation to the procurement of the works including compliance with the government’s complex funding requirements.
• Our construction experts acted for a client in relation to the construction of a new transport maintenance depot. The development includes extensive external lorry/trailer parking and associated wash, refuelling and storage areas. Our team of construction solicitors advised on all aspects of the construction documents including the professional appointments, the building contract and funding agreements.
