Building Disputes
Building disputes are concerned with a wide range of issues from party wall and boundary matters to contentious claims concerning major builders and developers.
Michelmores has a highly experienced construction law team advising on a wide range of contentious and non-contentious building disputes on behalf of developers, contractors and other industry professionals.
The Building Disputes team complements the work of the firm's commercial property department, particularly in relation to its developer clients and those requiring expert advice on building dispute resolution.
In contentious matters, the team places strong emphasis upon acting alongside clients to avoid developing disputes.
Where negotiation or mediation is inappropriate, a robust and vigorous approach is adopted to the resolution of building disputes by adjudication, arbitration, litigation or expert determination as circumstances require.
