New protection for office-based staff:

Like every other profession, construction is calibrating to the new normal. For the latest on new normal in the office, please have a look at:

The construction team will continue to work from home, with admin functions performed by a support team based in the office. We worked at home a lot before the pandemic, so it is pretty much business as usual.

It is good to see the courts considering block booking of firm’s cases to minimise the number of lawyers entering the court per day. This does not apply in the civil courts, but it is welcome creative thinking.

Keep safe and call if you have any questions on how the pandemic is affecting existing and new contracts. We are happy to conduct interviews, mediation and adjudication online to protect all concerned. Jan Grimshaw (07702 846850) and Sean Randall (07984 979349).
