Our clients can confidently rely upon the strong advocacy skills of our construction litigators, whose experience encompasses the prosecution and defence of all types of construction claims, including procurement disputes, breach of contract, claims for lien, delays, breach of trust, negligence, performance and labour and material payment bond claims. We focus on dispute resolution at trial and appellate levels of the court, and all Alternative Dispute Resolution forums, including mediation, adjudication and arbitration.
