Welcome to Contract Rite, your full-service legal team specialising in construction contracts. We provide flexible legal support to construction businesses; from ad hoc work, through to a complete service, integrating as part of your team.

At every stage of your project our team will protect you. In addition to traditional legal assistance, we provide a 'contracts for contractors' management service, always keeping you within your contractual obligations.

Construction Contracts Services

Prevention is always better than cure… So, ideally, you are best protected when we work with you from the outset of a project, drafting, reviewing and negotiating construction contracts.

However, often, you will find yourself needing legal protection when you are facing a dispute. This is when we can introduce our legal fire power to avoid or resolve lengthy and expensive proceedings.

Procurement

In today's construction industry, the tendering and procurement process is highly competitive and often full of legal challenges.

Our construction law experts are here to guide you through every step of the tendering and procurement journey, including support with contracts for contractors.

Contract Drafting, Review
and Negotiation

As legal and construction experts, we understand the industry-specific nuances and challenges of any construction project. Our goal is to protect you; ensuring that your contracts provide a solid foundation for successful projects, protecting your investments, and minimising any legal and financial risks.

Contract Management

Contracts often impose a variety of administrative obligations on the parties and penalties for non-compliance.

You need to be sure all contracts are protecting you and that's where we can deliver real value, ensuring you stay within your contractual terms at all times.

Dispute Resolution

Dispute avoidance is usually the preferred route to take, and we offer a variety of risk management techniques to avoid these situations.

However, even with careful procurement and rigorous contract management, disputes are sometimes inevitable. This is when you can tap into the expertise of our legal team.

Education & Training

Understanding contractual risks helps you manage and deliver successful construction projects. At Contract Rite, we deliver regular hands-on training sessions and virtual seminars on main contractual risks and contract management techniques through standard forms (NEC and JCT) and bespoke contracts.

Why Choose Us?

1. Expert Support Team

With decades of experience in construction, our experts offer industry-specific legal advice. Specialising in construction law, we are able to look at the matter with consideration of the project's and company's needs rather than presenting a purely legal solution. While we are protecting your legal position, you are able to spend more time concentrating on other areas within your business, winning more work, maintaining client satisfaction, and improving your company’s reputation.

2. Value for Money

Traditionally your options were to either employ a full-time commercial manager/legal counsel or engage solicitors for a significant fee. The investment with us is high-return: while charging reasonable fees we minimise your risk, providing great cost-savings.

3. Continuity of Service

Historically people would only seek support when the issue is already there, by which point it is often too late to recover. So why plan to fail by waiting? By continuously working with Contract Rite on a month by month/project by project basis, we will help you avoid this situation, increase efficiencies, and reduce disputes.

4. Simple Fees

  • Hourly or fixed fees and charges agreed upfront.
  • Option for hassle free monthly direct debit and invoice.
  • Different packages to choose from to suit your needs.
  • Easy and simple to start.
