Construction PI

We have an experienced team of lawyers who advise on all aspects of professional risks in the construction industry. We have extensive experience in advising insurers and insureds; we handle complex policy disputes, defend construction professionals, draft construction PI policy wordings and deal with subrogated claims against sub-contractors and third parties. We are able to resource claims from both our London and Bristol teams and our offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen enable us to advise on claims with a Scottish jurisdiction element.

We have acted for many of the country’s principal engineers, architects, quantity surveyors and project managers as well as advising on many contractors’ claims arising from D&C policies. We have advised on disputes ranging from educational and health facilities to museums, sports stadia, hotel refurbishment, retail and office properties, coastal and river defences, roads, tunnels, land reclamation and residential developments, waste water treatment works, piling and drainage projects.

Dispute resolution: We help our clients avoid litigation and provide expert advice to resolve disputes where possible. Our advice is clear, commercial and conscious of reputational risk. We will vigorously defend unmeritorious claims.

Full Service: As a full-service firm, we work closely with colleagues in areas such as Construction litigation and drafting group to provide a flexible and comprehensive service to our major Lloyd’s and company market clients, both domestically and internationally, and to insureds themselves in relation to their subdeductible claims.
