Contractor Agreements in England cover the drafting and negotiation of construction contracts between clients and contractors, typically using forms such as the JCT or NEC families. A solicitor in this area helps prepare and review terms on scope, programme, payments, variations, extensions of time, and risk allocation, as well as drafting collateral warranties, novation, and assignment provisions. They also advise on dispute resolution provisions and ensure compliance with the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996, including adjudication and payment regimes.
