Top 10 of 847 law firms for Subcontracting, Construction

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Subcontracting in construction covers the letting of work to specialist trades and suppliers under subcontract agreements, typically rail, roads, housing or commercial projects. A solicitor in this field drafts, reviews and negotiates subcontracts, flow-down clauses, and payment provisions, and may handle variations, delay claims, retentions, and guarantees. They advise on rights to payment under the Construction Act, performance bonds, and termination or suspension of works, and pursue or defend adjudications or court actions. They also help balance risk between main contractors, sub‑contractors and clients throughout the project lifecycle.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The key issues include complex payment regimes, the enforceability of notice and adjudication rights, and the interaction of main contracts with subcontracts. The solicitor explains the provisions that govern cash flow, such as interim payments, final account settlements, and retention regimes, and manages disputes arising from variations, defects, or defaults to protect the client’s commercial position.

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.

I have been advised by several solicitors at Meadows Ryan for a number of years and found their service to be extremely thorough and professional. Communication has been prompt and I found all solicitors very approachable and a pleasure to deal with. The advice I have received has been consistently reliable. I would certainly recommend Meadows Ryan.
