Construction lawyer for building and renovation companies: contracts, payments and disputes.
We help you set up construction contracts and resolve construction disputes: at a fixed price, with a reply the same or next business day.
The work is handed over and the acts are signed — and still a claim arrives: "poorly done". Or the client refuses to sign the acceptance acts and keeps demanding repairs. In construction, money is often lost not on site but on paper: contracts, acceptance acts, change agreements and warranty terms. We close those gaps in advance.
- Contracting and subcontracting agreements that protect you, not just the client
- Unpaid invoices, warranty claims and court disputes — in one place
A first call helps us understand whether and how we can help.

Six situations that hit construction and renovation companies hardest
The client does not pay for completed work
The work is handed over, the invoice is sent, but the money does not arrive. A dispute starts over scope or quality.
A subcontractor misses the deadline
Who pays the late-payment charge or contractual penalty if the delay was not your fault? The answer is in the contract.
The act is signed, the claim comes later
The work was accepted, but months or years later a claim arrives over alleged defects.
A warranty claim
The client demands a repair or a price reduction. Are you liable, and for how long?
Extra work without a written agreement
"Do this as well," the client said verbally. Now they do not want to pay for it.
A large client's "take it or leave it" contract
Penalties, payment terms and liability are set one-sidedly. What can still be negotiated?
The act was signed. We were sued anyway.
Many contractors assume that an acceptance act closes the matter. Our client's experience shows it is not always that simple.
What happened
Our client, a construction company, completed the work and it was accepted. All acceptance acts were signed, and no complaints were raised at handover.
An unexpected turn
Later, another developer sued the client: the completed work had allegedly caused damage, and the claim exceeded €20,000.
What we did
We represented the client in the dispute and defended their interests against the claim.
What a contractor can do
- Record in the act exactly what was accepted, and every note from the client
- Keep photos, work documentation and correspondence
- Set out warranty and liability terms clearly in the contract
- Show a claim to a lawyer immediately, before you reply
This case is anonymised. Every situation is different — this is not legal advice or a guarantee of results.
