Construction

Glovers is experienced in the handling of a wide range of contentious and no-contentious construction matters.

Construction Litigation and Arbitration

Cases are typically multi-party actions that can involve claims for defects, extensions of time for payment as well as claims concerning the performance of construction professionals (including project monitor surveyors).

Project Documentation

We provide advice on the structuring of contractual arrangements and the standard forms appropriate to particular procurement methods. Once a procurement method has been established, we can assist in the drafting, amending or negotiation of construction agreements including appointments of professional consultants.

We frequently advise on collateral warranties, parent company guarantees, performance bonds, novation agreements, letters of intent and assignments.

Adjudication

Adjudication has been designed to be a quick way of deciding disputes by obtaining an adjudicator’s decision without the need for extensive documentation or lengthy legal submissions.

We strive to take steps to remove the unpredictability of the process for clients. Adjudicators are faced with significant time constraints. We can assist parties to adjudication by defining the issues and ensuring that submissions are presented to the adjudicator, concisely, completely and clearly. We advise on the procedural and enforcement aspects of adjudication. Philip Eyre is an accredited adjudicator and is a dual qualified solicitor and chartered quantity surveyor.

Glovers has been instrumental in acting for clients in the development of the law in relation to adjudication.
