A&L Goodbody LLP is home to a deep bench of construction specialists who advise contractors, developers, and funders active across various sectors, including data centres, logistics, residential, and transport. It is well placed to assist clients with the full gamut of matters, from procurement issues and contract drafting to the construction and commissioning phases, and litigation. Practice chair Conor Owens is equally adept handling contentious and non-contentious construction matters. Eamonn Gill is an expert in construction contracts, regularly receiving instructions from some of the largest multinational corporations, while Jamie Rattigan brings experience in matters related to real estate and construction management.
