Construction Contracts
At Sinnott & Company we advise clients on issues relating to the structuring, negotiating, drafting and pricing of all forms of construction contract. Clients include employers, banks and financial institutions, consortium members and professional service providers. When contracts are in place, the team provides advice throughout the various construction phases.
Construction Disputes
The nature and complexity of construction disputes has greatly increased in recent years, making it more important than ever to have expert advice at hand. We represent employers, contractors, sub-contractors and professional services firms in construction litigation.
Property
Construction projects often involve substantial and complex property transactions. We assist with all aspects of the acquisition and development of sites and structures or we assist with interests in sites and structures for building or infrastructural projects.
