Having enjoyed unprecedented growth for many years, non-contentious construction has been fighting much harder to come back during the downturn, although growth is widely anticipated within niche sectors such as "plant" and the wider markets, once lending is more readily available from the banks.
Contentious construction has been thriving throughout the tough economic times and many firms and departments have enjoyed significant growth during this time.
As a result of the diverse nature of construction work, the way in which teams are structured and indeed the role an individual lawyer may undertake is possibly the most diverse in the commercial legal sector. Lawyers may undertake contentious or non-contentious work, a combination of both or even sit under a larger "property", "litigation" or "professional indemnity" banner.
