Why choose My Commercial Lawyers for a City of London construction dispute?
Construction disputes often involve more than one issue. Payment, contract terms, delays, defects, termination and responsibility can become connected as the dispute develops.
My Commercial Lawyers provides barrister-led construction dispute support, with litigation conduct where suitable. The focus is on understanding your position before choosing negotiation, adjudication, litigation or another step.
The firm has experience advising on employer and subcontractor contract disputes. It has also terminated JCT contracts for non-payment and enforced remedies under Insolvency Law.
My Commercial Lawyers is authorised and regulated by the Bar Standards Board. Its registered office is at 7 Bell Yard, London, WC2A 2JR.
How we approach a construction dispute
You may already know that legal help is needed. The harder question is deciding what action makes commercial sense.
The first step is not to assume that adjudication, litigation or debt recovery is automatically right. Your contract, evidence and objective need reviewing first.
The approach is straightforward:
1. Clarify the dispute
Review what has happened, who is involved and what the contract says.
2. Review the evidence
Consider contracts, notices, invoices, correspondence, payment records and other relevant documents.
3. Consider the available routes
This may include negotiation, a formal response, adjudication, litigation or another step.
4. Make the next instruction clear
If the matter is suitable, the scope and fixed instruction fee are confirmed before that instruction begins.
This helps you understand whether the dispute is worth taking further before spending money on the wrong action.
Construction disputes we may review
Suitable matters may include:
- Unpaid construction invoices
- Contractor and subcontractor disputes
- Developer disputes
- JCT contract disputes
- FIDIC contract disputes
- NEC contract disputes
- Construction adjudication issues
- Delay claims
- Defective works disputes
- Termination disputes
- Construction litigation

The right route depends on the facts, contract and evidence.
Relevant construction dispute experience
My Commercial Lawyers has advised a design and principal contractor on employer and subcontractor contract disputes.
The firm has also terminated JCT contracts for non-payment and enforced remedies under Insolvency Law.
Its construction experience also includes recovering unpaid fees for architects and construction professionals.
These examples show experience across payment, contract and project disputes. They do not mean the same route will apply to every matter.
