Given the complexities of construction projects it is unlikely that any project will reach practical completion without some issues arising during the course of construction works.

Primarily the main reasons which can give rise to a dispute involving construction contracts comprise of:

  • Disruption and delay on a particular project which jeopardises the contractual completion date
  • Payment disputes
  • Defects arising in the design and/or workmanship
  • Parties terminating the contract
  • Final account disputes

Navigating employment disputes requires a delicate balance of legal expertise and commercial acumen. Our specialist team understand the complex and often sensitive nature of these issues, which can significantly impact your business operations and workplace culture.

When facing issues of fraud or needing to recover assets, swift and decisive action is crucial. Our experienced team provides strategic guidance and representation to protect your interests and secure your assets.

In today’s complex business environment, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) often provides a more efficient and cost-effective approach to resolving conflicts. At Hassanluk, we offer expert guidance in various ADR methods, including mediation, helping you find solutions outside of traditional litigation. See our Arbitration services here.
