Our aim is to provide a comprehensive construction law service from project conception to completion and beyond.

In recent years Goodman Derrick LLP has developed a strong cross-departmental construction group providing contentious and non-contentious services to property owners, developers, contractors and consultants

  • Our guiding principle is a "whole project" approach handling both contentious and non-contentious work in partnering a client through a project. We believe knowledgeable targeted and cost effective legal advice can make a significant contribution to the smooth running of a project
    We take pride in our ability to offer practical solutions that draw upon our specialist knowledge of the construction industry
  • Our aim is to provide a seamless service for each project working with the client to achieve understood objectives
  • Each client receives the personal attention of a senior member of our construction team working closely with colleagues across specialist disciplines such as property and corporate services
  • We make full use of advanced IT facilities to deliver a service that is relevant to the client's needs and is delivered in a cost effective and timely manner
