Specialist construction law solicitors with offices across Dorset, Wiltshire and Hampshire
Trethowans’ construction law team provides specialist legal advice to developers, funders, contractors and professional consultants involved in construction and development projects across the UK and Europe. We support clients at every stage of the construction lifecycle, from project inception and procurement through to completion and disposal. Advice is commercially focused, practical and tailored to the specific risks associated with each project.
What do our construction law solicitors do?
Our construction law solicitors advise on the legal, commercial and practical issues that arise in construction and development projects of all sizes and complexity. We work closely with clients to put robust contractual frameworks in place, helping to manage risk, protect investment and ensure projects proceed as smoothly as possible.
We draft, review and negotiate the full suite of construction documentation, including building contracts and sub‑contracts, development agreements, professional appointments, collateral warranties, performance bonds and guarantees. Our team has extensive experience working with standard form and bespoke contracts and advising on procurement strategies suitable for each project.
We also provide ongoing strategic advice throughout the life of a project, supporting clients in responding to issues such as variations, delays, defects and project changes. Our aim is always to resolve issues quickly and pragmatically, helping clients avoid disputes wherever possible.
