Construction and engineering

The construction and engineering team at Herbert Smith is one of the only major practices able to provide clients with a fully integrated, all-encompassing set of specialist services.

The well-balanced depth of expertise across both the contentious and non-contentious sectors of the practice provide our clients with a “full-service” facility able to advise on all aspects of construction and engineering-related disputes and projects.

We specialise in International Arbitration, High Court litigation, domestic Arbitration, Adjudication as well as ADR techniques.

We have over 30 lawyers all of whom have considerable expertise in construction and engineering law, as well as comprehensive knowledge of construction and engineering industry practices, methods of procurement and drafting negotiations and finalising all types of project documentation. 

The natural synergy that exists between the contentious and non-contentious lawyers enables a greater understanding of the construction and engineering industry, and benefits our clients in our ability to provide a truly comprehensive and specialist service.

Cross-fertilisation between our worldwide offices and lawyers further expands the breadth of our abilities and provides our clients with first class international resources.
