    Contentious construction covers disputes arising from building projects, including contract breaches, defects, delay or disruption claims, payment disputes and professional negligence. A solicitor in this area handles the dispute from start to finish: advising on liability, preparing pleadings and documentary evidence, drafting and issuing statements of case, managing interim applications, and leading or defending court or arbitration proceedings. They also navigate adjudication under the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996, negotiate settlement across JCT and NEC contracts, and instruct experts or mediators where needed.

    “I engaged Crane and Staples to assist me in dealing with a rogue builder who was doing a large project at my home in 2022 and had invoiced me for works not performed. I had refused to pay his final invoice as the amounts were spurious after which the builder in question became quite unpleasant, referring the invoice to a debt collector, resulting in a court letter. Michael and his team were a pleasure to deal with, dealing very effectively with the debt collector and their legal team, offering pragmatic and practical advice which resulted in a satisfactory outcome for me and avoided the necessity of going to court. I would not hesitate to use Crane & Staples again.”
