Construction Disputes

Myerson’s construction team has in-depth knowledge and a wealth of expertise representing clients in high-value, contentious, construction matters. Whether bringing or defending a complex construction claim, quality legal advice is essential. We work with clients to chase their entitlements or defend a claim regardless of the forum.

Our meticulous attention to detail, when drafting the construction documentation initially, reduces the likelihood of a dispute in the first instance. Unfortunately, disputes cannot always be avoided. In which case, it is paramount that your legal advisors can employ processes to minimise risk and identify issues early and resolve them quickly.

Regardless of whether you are building an airport or a small residential development, you will not want your project delayed or disrupted. The effect of a dispute on the progress of construction can be catastrophic. Our construction team understand this and adopt an innovative and dynamic approach to dispute resolution. We aim primarily to resolve disputes informally without the need to instigate formal resolution proceedings. This approach allows us to act decisively to resolve the dispute and get the construction project back on track.

There are occasions when formal legal action is necessary and cannot be avoided. In such cases, Myerson’s dedicated construction team can help realise the best possible outcome by vigorously pursuing or defending your claim. Our construction team are experienced legal practitioners who are well versed in dispute resolution procedures, whether that be: arbitration, adjudication, expert determination or litigation through the court system.

Whatever the size or nature of the dispute our breadth of experience guarantees that we can help you realise the best possible outcome with a strategy that is tailored to your commercial circumstances.
