Construction
Our non-contentious construction team is amongst the most highly regarded in the region. Our team comprises lawyers who specialise solely in construction and O & M matters.
We advise in relation to construction matters across the power, oil and gas, infrastructure and real estate sectors. Our clients include governments, lenders, developers, contractors and consultants. We advise many of our clients solely in relation to their construction needs. However, we regularly form part of a multi-disciplinary( and often cross-office) team to deliver comprehensive legal advice in relation to complex energy and infrastructure projects.
Our construction team is recognised for its excellence by a number of global legal and business publications and organisations, including The Legal 500 EMEA( 2022). Tom Swarbrick is cited by The Legal 500 UK as a‘ Next Generation Lawyer’ with clients saying he is a“ extremely reliable and solution oriented” with a“ strong customer focus and great work ethic.” In 2020, he was recognised by Law360 as a‘ Rising Star’ in construction law. The Legal 500 UK notes Tracy London offers“ unparalleled knowledge and deep sector specific expertise in energy projects, particularly renewable energy.”
