Construction &
Built environment
Built for resilience
On a busy construction site, an incident is more than a delay, it’s a complex web of contractual, safety, and financial risks. Whether you are a lead developer, a specialist contractor, or managing major infrastructure, you need a partner who understands the high stakes of the built environment.
Protecting every layer of the project
Our expertise is tailored to the specific exposures of the construction industry. We manage employer’s and public liability with a deep understanding of site safety and the "falls from height" regulations. We handle contract works and property damage to keep projects moving after fire or storm events, and we provide specialist oversight for product liability and structural defects.
Crucially, our legal team manages contractual and supply chain disputes, ensuring that indemnity claims and warranty issues are resolved according to the precise terms of your JCT or NEC contracts.
A precision engineered claims process
Site ready incident capture
our streamlined intake process allows site managers to report claims instantly. We capture the critical "golden hour" evidence—photos, witness details, and telemetry — allowing our specialist construction teams to begin an immediate legal assessment of liability.
Defensibility from day one
Our lawyers conduct early screenings of contractual obligations and safety regulations to ensure the right party is held accountable. By building "litigation-ready" evidence packs from the start, we strengthen your position, flag potential fraud, and provide support for injured workers in sensitive cases.
We would be delighted to hear about your current arrangements, present challenges and timeframe for an opportunity for us to introduce the services of CIR and how we can add value to your business.
