“We’ve got you covered.”
Disputes are inevitable, costs are high and risk is yours.
In the construction industry, disputes aren’t the exception - they’re the rule. And every year, the number of disputes continues to rise. Developers, main contractors, and subcontractors face mounting pressure to deliver projects on time and within budget.
With most disputes valued over £100,000, the financial consequences can be catastrophic - often meaning the difference between survival and collapse for many contractors.
That’s why Legalbuild exists.
At Legalbuild, “we’ve got you covered.”
Our expert team works with you from day one - proactively spotting risks, managing issues before they escalate, and building the right framework to keep your projects dispute-ready.
And if a dispute does arise? We step in and handle the entire process, start to finish - so you can stay focused on delivering, not defending.
All the experts you need. One predictable monthly fee.
Traditional dispute resolution is expensive, slow, and fragmented - requiring you to hire multiple consultants, legal teams, and specialists. With Legalbuild, everything is ‘under one roof’.
For a fixed monthly cost, you get full access to our industry-leading dispute management team - no hidden fees, no nasty surprises, no juggling multiple providers.
Legalbuild - Built for construction. Built for protection.
Disputes may be inevitable. But the damage they cause doesn’t have to be.

Our Services
“We’ve got you covered.”
At Legalbuild, we combine legal expertise with commercial construction know-how to protect your business at every stage of a project. From prevention to resolution, our services are designed to keep your contracts watertight, your projects on track, and your profits protects.
-
We equip your team with the knowledge and tools to operate with confidence. Through tailored training, you’ll learn industry best practices and how to get the most from Legalbuild’s services - ensuring your business avoids unnecessary risks and achieves stronger outcomes.
-
Your contracts are your first line of defence. Whether it’s reviewing existing terms and conditions or drafting robust agreements for new projects, we make sure your business is protected and positioned for success from the outset.
-
In the UK construction industry, timely and compliant notices are critical. Legalbuild ensures every notice you issue aligns with contractual and statutory requirements - safeguarding your rights and eliminating the risk of invalid calims.
-
Delays are a fact of construction. Our proactive forensic analysis prepares the evidence you need while the project is on-going, so if disputes arise, you’re already equipped with the documentation to substantiate claims or defend your position.
-
Financial impacts can be just as disruptive as delays. We gather and analyse cost data throughout the project, preparing detailed, defensible assessments of financial losses that stand up in dispute resolution proceedings.
-
Strong disputes are built on strong evidence. Legalbuild compiles and organises the critical documentation you’ll need - from correspondence to site records - ensuring you’re fully prepared should resolution proceedings become necessary.
-
Prevention is always better than cure. Through regular risk audits and “dispute health checks”, we help you apply contracts correctly, avoid costly mistakes, and maintain healthy profit margins across your projects.
-
When disputes can’t be avoided, Legalbuild manage the process from start to finish - negotiation, mediation, adjudication or arbitration. With Legalbuild in control, you can focus on delivering projects while we protect your commercial position.
