We take pride in our ability to offer practical solutions that draw upon our specialist knowledge of the construction industry.

In recent years Goodman Derrick has developed a strong cross-departmental construction group providing contentious and non-contentious services to property owners, developers, contractors and consultants.  We provide a seamless service for each project working with our clients to achieve agreed objectives.

Each client receives the personal attention of a senior member of our construction team who will, where necessary, work closely with colleagues across specialist disciplines such as property and corporate services.
