What is Adjudication?
Adjudication is a legally implied, rapid dispute resolution process commonly used in construction contracts. It provides a binding decision through an independent adjudicator, offering a cost-effective alternative to prolonged legal proceedings.
Our team of experienced consultants specializes in representing claiming and defending parties in adjudication. We simplify the process by providing clear advice and robust representation, often taking action on the same day we are instructed.
Adjudication is a fast-paced process. Our expertise ensures you stay on top of tight deadlines while presenting your case effectively. From the Notice of Adjudication to the adjudicator’s final decision, we guide you at every step.
If a party refuses to comply with an adjudicator’s decision, we assist with court enforcement. Our strategic approach minimizes the risk of non-compliance, ensuring prompt resolution of your disputes.
