Matthew Dillon has significant experience of the Built Environment, having drafted and negotiated contracts and appointments for employers, contractors, subcontractors and consultants. Contract sums have ranged from a few thousand to tens of millions of pounds.
Work undertaken includes:
Matthew’s knowledge of negotiating construction documentation, derived from his extensive in-house experience at John Laing plc, Jarvis Plc and Montpellier Group plc, means that MJD Solicitors are entirely at home in contract negotiations where employers have engaged teams of lawyers from city of London law firms. Matthew frequently secures favourable terms for his clients ensuring that off-market risk is eliminated, and any risk that is accepted is priced and understood.
Matthew is regularly instructed to review and negotiate across the suite of JCT Main contracts. Mathew can both advise on the risk profile of the amendments and draft necessary revisions and negotiate to secure the same. Matthew’s significant experience means that he is usually at least as qualified and experienced as the employer’s representatives. The common employer position – “your request is off market” – if deployed, is usually eventually conceded.
