From their offices in Essex and Suffolk, Holmes & Hills’ Legal 500 ranked Construction Department represents clients based and operating across the whole of the UK, providing pragmatic and strategic legal advice to construction professionals, including developers, funders, contractors and sub-contractors.

Believing that “prevention is better than cure,” our construction solicitors aim to give their clients the knowledge and the tools to avoid disputes, by way of training, contract reviews, and bespoke drafting. Whether you’re a contractor looking for advice on the contract amendments for a new project, or a developer looking for procurement advice through to the drafting and execution of your construction contracts, our solicitors have you covered. For longer-term preparation, they can hold training on all forms of construction contract and law, tailored to your specific needs.

Where disputes are unavoidable, the solicitors in Holmes & Hills’ Construction Department regularly represent clients in contentious matters with a focus on achieving a prompt, cost-effective and successful conclusion.

Offering clients a ‘highly professional’ team boasting ’extensive knowledge of the construction industry’, Holmes & Hills is keenly sought-after on contentious and non-contentious matters. Sam Bawden, a leading contact among contractors and sub-contractors, leads the construction division and assists clients with training, contract drafting and reviews and resolving disputes via Adjudication, Arbitration, Litigation or ADR mechanisms such as Mediation.. A further key individual is Lawrence Pearce, who assists contractors, sub-contractors, and consultants across disputed payments, defects, and debt recovery.
