Advice from a solicitor who began his career as an engineer.

Chris Hough worked as a Chartered Civil and Structural Engineer before qualifying as a solicitor. That technical background can be particularly useful in disputes involving design, professional scope, causation, programme evidence and the interface between technical and contractual duties.

What we need at the start.

  1. Names of all parties and relevant representatives for an initial conflict check.
  2. The executed contract, appointment or subcontract and any amendments.
  3. A short chronology identifying the dispute and the decision or payment now required.
  4. The most important notices, correspondence, programme or valuation records.
  5. Any immediate contractual, adjudication or court deadline.
Next step

Identify the issue and the deadline.

That is usually enough to begin an initial conflict check and decide what should be reviewed first.
