For Subcontractors

Protect cash flow without losing sight of the contract.

Subcontractors often feel the commercial effect of a dispute first: an unpaid application, retention, contra charge or disputed final account can quickly affect cash flow. HQ Law focuses on the contractual and evidential route to resolving the issue.

What we need at the start.

Names of all parties and relevant representatives for an initial conflict check.
The executed contract, appointment or subcontract and any amendments.
A short chronology identifying the dispute and the decision or payment now required.
The most important notices, correspondence, programme or valuation records.
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.
