Introduction
Druces' Construction Group advises institutions, developers, consultants, contractors and insurers on all aspects of non-contentious and contentious construction law in this country and abroad in conjunction with a client's other professional advisers when appropriate.
Construction law traditionally involved advice on the standard forms of consultancy and building contracts and limited amendments to these forms, and the resolution of building disputes by litigation and arbitration. Today, with the innovative forms of construction procurement developed over the past few years, the term embraces a number of inter-disciplinary fields including banking and property law with increasing attention being paid to health and safety and environmental issues.
We advise on:-

- Forms of contract procurement, financing and consultancy, joint venture arrangements
- Appropriate amendments to standard forms of construction contract and consultancy agreements
- Forms of collateral warranties, guarantees and bonds
