The complicated nature of Construction and Engineering disputes means that those seeking to avoid their responsibilities have been able to drag out discussions and cloud issues by introducing unrelated issues and unnecessarily complicated arguments.

Recent changes in the law have been designed to ease the difficulties faced by contractors by focusing disputes and ensuring that they are dealt with quickly and inexpensively.

Unfortunately many advisors are unaware of these developments. This is not perhaps surprising as few advisors specialise in this complicated area.

C.E.Law was established to ensure that contractors have access to specialist advice from a dedicated firm of solicitors.

We aim to resolve disputes as effectively as possible using the various techniques now available to advisors.

We at C.E.Law have many years experience of advising contractors and only advise on Construction and Engineering disputes.

As we are a small and dedicated firm our clients have the advantages of specialist advisors without paying “big firm” fees.

We offer advice to businesses throughout the UK and offer flexible terms working with our clients to achieve a commercial resolution to any dispute.

It is no longer possible to treat construction and engineering disputes in the same fashion as other debt cases.

The introduction of the "Pre Action Protocol for Construction and Engineering Disputes" by the government in late 2000 was intended to assist in the resolution of such matters. The protocol requires a proper investigation of disputes before any proceedings can be issued.

A party that fails to comply with the protocol may suffer sanctions from court including adverse costs orders.
