Whilst our team of experts can assist when legal issues arise unexpectedly, however urgent, we always recommend identifying and minimising legal risk, contractual or otherwise, proactively and as soon as possible. This is why Holmes& Hills' Construction Team offers members of the Scaffolding Association a free initial consultation with a specialist solicitor at the point of joining the Scaffolding Association and at the point of membership renewal. During this consultation, you can discuss with a specialist any legal issues or queries your scaffolding business may be facing. The construction solicitor you speak with will also bring to your attention matters you might wish to consider based on their experience of legal issues other scaffolding companies have had to deal with. The solicitor will also share with you ways of reducing legal and contractual risks*.
Holmes & Hills offers members fixed-fee services for the review and or drafting of contracts. Whether you are wanting to understand the legal risks you will face and commitments you will be making as part of signing a new contract, or you wish to strengthen your on terms and conditions, Holmes & Hills can advise and assist you for a fixed, preferential fee rate.
Fixed-fee contract reviews are a popular service among sub-contractors who wish to limit their legal and financial risk.
If you find that your business requires formal legal advice or representation to make or defend a claim, have bespoke contract terms and conditions drafted, or you would like bespoke training on key legal matters for your directors or management team, you will benefit from preferential legal fees.
Where appropriate, Holmes & Hills may be able to agree with you a success-linked fee structure whereby, for example, you only pay a legal fee in the event we are successful in revering monies owed to you.
Such arrangements are considered and agreed on a case by case and such arrangements will always be subject to consideration to the facts available.
Holmes & Hills has worked with the Scaffolding Association to produce a range of legal guidance documents which are available to members on the Association’s website.
Additional legal guidance documents will continue to be added to the Scaffolding Association website.
