Construction law is a specialized area in civil litigation, often having its own rules, technicalities and terms of art. It is important for a client, when choosing a professional, to ensure that there is the knowledge, skill and experience to manoeuvre through the twists, turns and pitfalls which inevitably occur in a construction law dispute. Add to that the vast quantity of documents that flows from most construction projects, and you have a situation that can quickly become overwhelming (not to mention unduly expensive) unless the right "hand" is guiding the process.
