Anderson Strathern strengthens construction disputes service with new team
Law firm Anderson Strathern has strengthened its construction dispute resolution offering with the addition of a specialised team, led by newly-appointed partner Michael Collins and director Mary Frances O’Neill.
The four-strong team, which also includes solicitors Gillian Green and Liam McKay, can help clients with a wide variety of claims arising from building and infrastructure projects, from payment disputes to RAAC issues and cladding defects.
Mr Collins said: “Since the pandemic, the construction industry has faced numerous challenges, from volatile prices to labour shortages. As the economy starts to rebound, the sector is increasingly focused on predicted growth and exciting innovation.
“Our team understands the difficulties and opportunities facing construction and engineering businesses and are here to advise on rights and obligations, and to provide effective representation when disputes arise.
“Our key strengths are our first-class legal expertise, our commercial awareness, and our ability to provide fast, comprehensive and easy-to-understand advice.”
Fraser Geddes, chair at Anderson Strathern, said: “This talented and highly respected new team further strengthens and expands the range of expertise and support we can offer our construction sector clients with both non-contentious and contentious issues. This should boost further business growth in the second half of 2024.”
