Welcome to MJD Solicitors, your trusted legal experts in construction adjudication, with years of experience to draw upon. Working with a wide range of clients in the construction sector, we are able to deliver swift results with a great success rate.
The firm is led by Matthew Dillon, an experienced construction adjudication solicitor. Matthew is a member of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, Society for Construction Law, the Adjudication Society and TECSA. Prior to setting up MJD Solicitors in 2010, Matthew spent a decade as an in house solicitor undertaking adjudication and working on construction & commercial contracts. It was this experience that gave him the vision and initiative to set up his own practice, where he could put his skills to use and provide tailored support to his clients.
We strive to build long-standing relationships with our clients, and are proud to work with a number who have instructed us for many years. We see this as a great privilege, and take enormous pride in being a valued part of our clients’ commercial teams. We tailor our approach to suit the needs of each client, so that we can work to deliver results that align with their goals. Much of our business comes through word of mouth recommendations, which is testament to our good standing in the construction sector.
MJD Solicitors has a particular expertise in using adjudication to secure quick, beneficial outcomes for our clients at a low cost. Matthew Dillon personally started working on adjudications in 2000, and has used his experience to win countless adjudications since founding MJD Solicitors. MJD Solicitors are also instructed to defend adjudications that have been commenced against clients.
We undertake the legal work entirely in-house. Where expert evidence is required, for example delay analyses on extensions of time, we are able to quickly appoint the appropriate experts to work for you.
We act for main contractors, sub-contractors, professional consultants, developers and employers. We have had extensive exposure to the construction industry and construction disputes, and we never engage junior lawyers, nor allocate duplicate lawyers to our work. As a result, we are able to provide an excellent service and value for money. Our hourly rates are highly competitive and wherever possible we fix and cap our fees – ensuring a return on the investment you have put into working with us.
We have a 100% record of securing enforceable decisions, and significant experience of High Court adjudication enforcement proceedings. The clients we work with typically have turnovers between £1 million – £100million – so no matter the scale or complexity of your legal issue, you can be sure we will be able to help.
