Construction and IT

Law and practice in Construction and Information Technology (IT) are subject to rapid change with the constant introduction of UK and European legislation and developing management techniques.

We have built a multi-disciplinary group which provides a distinctive approach for clients in the Construction and IT sectors at every stage of the procurement process from initial project and team scoping to post-completion matters.

There are now more ways than ever to manage and resolve disputes within the Construction and IT industries. In advising on disputes of all kinds and how to resolve them we are able to draw on those members of the firm who specialise in dealing with courts and tribunals and those who advise on procurement law and procedure.

• Procurement
• Partnering
• Dispute resolution
• The local government and voluntary sector

Procurement
Completing projects within budget and on time requires the foundation of best procurement practice. We can help with

• overall procurement strategy, including appropriate forms of contract;
• procedures to select consultants and contractors;
• methods to avoid common disputes; and
• an independent check of contract and tender documentation before issue.

Partnering
Although still in its infancy, partnering has quickly become an established part of construction procurement. For many publicly funded schemes it is a requirement. We can help you establish a clear partnering framework which sets out the roles of each party but does not slow the Construction process with unnecessarily cumbersome procedures.

We can also advise on the application of partnering principles to IT projects.

Dispute resolution
Disputes can arise any time during the construction or project implementation process. We explore different ways of resolving them with you including Alternative Dispute Resolution, Adjudication, Arbitration and the Technology & Construction Court. Whatever the dispute, we aim to define the main issues promptly and work towards an early solution. Please also refer to our pages on Disputes by clicking here.

Our Housing and Local Government Department is highly regarded nationally in providing advice to the public and voluntary sectors. Whether you are in those sectors or are involved in Construction or IT work for them, we can help with all aspects of the relevant law. We have particular experience in advising when the EU procurement rules Best Value legislation apply and how to comply with them. Please also refer to our pages on Procurement by clicking here.
