It is essential that you engage with professional construction lawyers if you have a payment dispute. If you get it wrong, you could lose money, face legal action or worse.
Disputes on building and construction projects often involve complex legal issues. The timing of disputes can often create project delays, cause funding and payment issues and lead to additional costs to complete.
