Cripps Harries Hall

What we do

We provide clear, practical advice on how to resolve construction and engineering disputes cost effectively, whether by adjudication, arbitration or court proceedings or some form of alternative dispute resolution such as mediation or expert determination.

Typical disputes are over defects, delay, payment, notices and termination clauses. The Construction Act and EU procurement also produce issues. As does insolvency.

We are familiar with the standard form contracts such as the JCT, NEC and PPC2000 suites of documents, along with forms of professional appointment (such as RIBA and ACE) and collateral warranties.

Our clients

Our clients include employers such as government departments, universities and colleges, social housing providers and other businesses, as well as contractors and professional consultants. We work closely with claims consultants and insolvency practitioners.

Why Cripps Harries Hall?

A common sense approach and clear advice will enable you to take informed, commercial decisions.
