Resolve your construction disputes efficiently and effectively
Our strategic legal advice identifies and minimises risk and disruption to your business. But sometimes in construction, disputes are unavoidable. Then you need our expertise in construction dispute resolution.
Having been on-the-ground in Hong Kong since the 1980s, we have a wealth of experience in the region. Drawing on this expertise, we work with you throughout the entire project life-cycle – from front-end construction, drafting and negotiating contracts, to back-end construction where disputes arise.
Cross-border expertise
In a dispute, you benefit from our experience in all facets of major project dispute resolution, including mediation, conciliation and other alternative dispute resolution processes, as well as our experience in litigation, arbitration and adjudication. Many of our construction lawyers are accredited arbitrators and mediators with leading international arbitration and mediation institutions.
As our clients continue to expand their offshore presence, we draft dispute resolution clauses in cross-border transactions. We also help resolve disputes arising out of such transactions. Whatever the situation, you can rely on our law firm to handle your construction disputes efficiently and effectively.
