We have a specialist team of in-house construction lawyers with years of experience in helping individuals and construction companies handle or avoid claims. What’s more, our construction claims management service starts at 10% of the sum recovered. Across the board we offer generous funding structures to allow smaller contractors to assert their rights against listed companies.

Complex contracts set out by large companies can often leave individuals, subcontractors or small contractors accepting less payment than they’re truly entitled to due to a lack of legal expertise and not knowing how to deal with complicated excuses for delaying or avoiding payment.

In construction disputes, it’s essential that you have an experienced construction advisor – general contract and commercial law doesn’t cover the complexity of construction cases. Our team can help you settle building disputes if you’re not sure which route to take or feel you’re being denied what you’re rightfully owed.

What We Can Do​

Due to the complexity of building projects, construction disputes of all shapes and sizes are not uncommon – but there are plenty of different ways to resolve them. Our specialist construction dispute lawyers are able to give expert advice and maximise your recovery in the following areas:

In large projects, interim payments are made throughout the construction period before final accounts are decided. If you feel your payment has been unjustly delayed, is too small, or you need help writing or serving notices, seek legal advice from Helix Law today.

Recovering retention money after a job is complete can sometimes be made difficult – large companies can make excuses to delay repayment or to avoid paying altogether. Helix Law has helped countless contractors win back their rightful retention, No Win No Fee.

Final accounts in construction are often called into question, especially in large projects that have taken a long time to complete. These types of projects can involve hundreds of people and things can get very complicated. Helix Law can help you ascertain what you should receive from a final account and help you resolve disputes. If you are involved in a dispute over defects, delay, payment, termination or design then contact us for specialist construction contract advice that could help you save or recover more money.

"Helix Law was able to recover monies owed for works completed, after waiting 12 months for various reasons we contacted Helix Law and they was able to offer expert advice on our options at hand. Within 3 months the money owed from an employer was paid to our business, special thanks to Edward Lamptey for his expert advise."

Currently in the process of instructing them on a construction dispute. Jonathan Waters has been very patient and understanding despite my initial hesitation as to what to do. I know that I am in the right but sometimes one needs a helping hand for justice to be carried out.

"Helix provided contract assessment advice to my company to mitigate risk in an upcoming project - Jonathan's advice was prompt, very clear and extremely useful to allow us to enter negotiations with our client. Helix were thorough in gathering our requirements and worked hard to understand the objective of our negotiations clearly, which was then reflected in their advice for risks in the immediate and longer-term. We will be using Helix again for contract advice and other services, their service is very professional and good value for the work that is produced."
