Negotiating

Negotiatiing, is often the simplest method of getting your problems resolved, but to be successful our experience tells us that Specialist Contractors, Trade Contractors and Subcontractors benefit from our expert assistance.

Parties to a dispute can try to negotiate a settlement at any time, whether or not it is provided for in any contract between them.

Negotiation can be informal: by email, telephone or face-to-face, but it can also be undertaken in a more formal way.

Negotiation can take place at any stage of the dispute, and be as quick as the parties want.

Typically, negotiation is private and confidential. In situations where English law applies, the negotiations are subject to the ‘without prejudice’ doctrine. The parties retain control of the outcome as they decide whether the proposed terms are acceptable, and give instructions and approve any agreement reached.

Many standard-form construction contracts and bespoke contracts provide for negotiation to escalate through various levels of management. This is a useful way of raising awareness of the dispute at more senior management levels. It creates the opportunity for a more objective assessment of the position by senior decision makers, thereby increasing the opportunity of settlement.

A successful negotiation increases the chances of maintaining the relationship between the parties.
