No other firm in Ireland has the depth of resources and recent infrastructure experience that we have.

Our partner-led construction group advises on all aspects of the development of construction projects in both the public and private sectors, acting for developers, contractors, employers, investors and lending institutions.

Our expertise spans all sectors, including commercial, health, housing, renewables, industrial, student accommodation, and ports amongst others.

Given the complex nature of construction projects, disputes arise from time to time. We provide strategic and commercial advice to drive an expeditious resolution of disputes in order to minimise the impact on projects.

We have advised on some of the most significant and largest developments in Ireland over recent years.

The key to our success is the collaborative approach of our team in terms of how we collaborate with our clients to deliver upon their key aims and how we collaborate as one team leveraging our expertise across planning, procurement, project finance, real estate and construction to the benefit of our clients. The strength and depth of our resources is unparalleled in the Irish market and we draw on these resources to deliver innovative solutions in often complex and challenging matters. We are consistently ranked as a top tier firm, so you can be assured that you are being advised by experts.

On the non-contentious side, the team advises on:

      • contracts for building and engineering works at all tiers
      • contracts for design consultancy services
      • construction management services
      • collateral warranty documentation
      • regulatory issues including building control and health and safety
      • health and safety appointments

On the contentious side, the firm has advised on a variety of complex construction disputes arising out of some of the most significant construction projects in the country’s history, representing both public and private sector clients.
