Construction law is a key area of expertise for members at Exchange Chambers, and with several barristers boasting industry-specific qualifications, Chartered Quantity Surveyors and a Chartered Builder form part of the team. It is also highly experienced in property-related cases, covering both commercial and residential-based mandates surrounding planning, registered land, landlord and tenant disputes, and boundary issues. The set houses David Fearon and Simon Whitfield, who both possess expertise in construction and engineering disputes. Fearon is representing the defendant in Shiers v QM Developments, a case arising from allegations that a drainage system the builders installed was defective and caused the property to flood and suffer damage. Andrew Williams practices exclusively in real estate litigation, and he is acting for the claimant, who manages a large residential housing development, in Cwmni Rheoli Pentref Marina Conwy v McCarthy; this concerns the challenge of a covenant preventing the property owners from letting houses on a short-term basis to holiday-makers. Lawrence McDonald, who acts for companies, individuals, office holders, and public bodies before all court levels, and Brynmor Adams, who handles a variety of commercial and residential landlord and tenant disputes, are also key members.
