As a construction contract lawyer in Croydon, Rosie's Legis helps businesses set clear obligations before work begins. We advise on development agreements, joint ventures, JCT and NEC contracts, subcontractor terms, warranties and payment mechanisms.

Payment disputes
Case example
A payment dispute resolved before the programme slipped.
A contractor faced withheld sums after disputed variations. We reviewed the contract notice trail, prepared a focused response and helped the parties agree a payment route without taking the matter straight to a hearing.

Supplier, franchise and logistics contracts
Good commercial terms answer the awkward questions early. Who carries the loss when delivery is late? What happens when volumes change? Can either party end the relationship after repeated service failures?
We draft and negotiate supplier agreements UK businesses can use in practice, alongside franchise arrangements and logistics contracts for South East operations.

Clear answers
Sector legal FAQs
A short starting point. The contract and the facts decide the detailed advice.
What should be in a construction contract?
Set out the scope, price, programme, payment process, variations, defects, insurance, warranties, delay consequences and dispute procedure. JCT and NEC contracts need careful amendments where the project has unusual risks. A construction contract lawyer in Croydon can review the terms before signature.
How can I end a franchise agreement?
Start with the termination clauses, notice requirements and any breach remedy period. Check post-termination restrictions, stock, branding, premises and customer data obligations before sending notice. A franchise solicitor South East businesses can rely on should review the agreement and the proposed exit together.
What are my rights if goods are defective?
Check the specification, inspection terms, acceptance process, warranty and limitation clauses. Record the defect, protect the goods and notify the supplier promptly. Supplier agreements UK businesses use should explain replacement, repair, credit and consequential loss clearly.
Do I need a joint venture agreement for development?
Usually, yes. The agreement should cover contributions, ownership, funding, planning decisions, construction risk, sales, deadlock and the process for ending the venture. A property development solicitor in London can help align the agreement with the project structure before money is committed.
