Construction & Engineering

Hardwicke is a leading set in the specialist field of construction & engineering insurance. Members of the team continue to be involved in some of the industry’s highest value and most significant construction insurance disputes.

We act for many of the leading insurers, re-insurers, construction & engineering professionals, developers and property owners in all construction insurance related matters.

We have extensive experience in the scope and application of all construction & engineering related insurance policies, including CAR, PI, public liability and project policies. Our Barristers have been involved in some of the leading recent cases in the Court of Appeal concerning defects exclusion clauses, coverage for access damage and the operation of retained liability.

Recently, Hardwicke’s barristers have been involved in cases involving the new runway at Manchester Airport, the development of Paternoster Square and an international Arbitration concerning the aftermath of Hurricane Ivan upon a US$150 million hotel development in Grand Cayman.

The overlap with our construction & engineering work means that the policy coverage issues are addressed by insurance specialists but within the context of a real understanding of the underlying construction issues.
