Disputes in the construction industry are all too common these days, perhaps unsurprisingly given the complexity of many cases, the amount of money involved and the number of people and companies that could be affected. Whether you’re planning to create a case against someone or you’ve been named as a potential participant, you really should have the experienced legal professionals from MML Law with you from the start.
Construction disputes can cover a wide variety of matters, including the likes of incorrect valuations, late or missing payments, breaches of contract, defective working, avoidable time extensions, professional negligence, health and safety issues and cases relating to property law. Given the somewhat niche nature of construction disputes, it’s always advisable to engage the services of a skilled, knowledgeable specialist.
If you make contact with MML Law at the onset of a potential dispute, our legal team may be able to provide strategic avoidance advice. This can help to negate the need for full-scale proceedings that end with a formal case in a court of law. We’ve helped a number of our clients over the years to achieve an early intervention that has saved them significant amounts of both time and money.
One of the reasons for the complexity in some cases is the timescale involved in various major construction projects. These can take months or even years to complete, and along the way disputes can occur between developers, contractors, consultants, investors and eventual occupants. Disputes often arise because objectives can change during that period, leading to contentious arguments and possible legal action.
Whether we’re pursuing a case on behalf of a client or we’re defending an individual or company against a construction dispute, we do so with the same degree of tenacity and the same attention to detail. We know that such cases can prove to be extremely upsetting for anyone, even those who are experienced in legal processes, and that’s why we work hard to take the stress away from our clients right from the start.
We’ve worked alongside individuals and clients in all areas of the construction sector, providing much-needed guidance and of course robust legal representation when it’s needed. If we can help you find an early solution that suits all parties and therefore avoid the need for court proceedings, we’ll do just that. And if the case goes to court, you can be sure of the strongest possible support.
Construction disputes can be highly upsetting, and in the most complex cases they can also prove to be extremely expensive, of course. Our team will work hard to help you achieve the best possible outcome, so make sure you give MML Law a call soon. We’re available now on 01382 206 000, so please get in touch today.
