Construction in Sport

We support sports organisations with:

• Transactional and contentious sports-related matters for clients across the sector including developer clients, contractors, subcontractors, and funders.
• Drafting and negotiating construction contracts of all types including: JCT, NEC, FIDIC, ICC, Alliance form, Framework and bespoke – for works to sports grounds, training complexes, pitches, courts, and tracks. As well as ancillary works and areas such as retail, hospitality, TV studios, offices, exhibits/galleries, and conference halls.
• Disputes across various dispute resolution platforms including adjudication, litigation, arbitration and associated pre-action case management, mediation and settlement for issues relating to sports construction including pitch issues, defective design/works issues, issues concerning delays and payment disputes.
• Preparing bespoke precedent contracts such as consultant appointments and purchase orders that clients can use to call off themselves for more routine and minor construction works.
