The Practice

Between the professions,
by design.

Corvinus is a specialist construction and property practice operating at the intersection of law, technical expertise and forensic analysis.

Position

Alongside solicitors

Some construction matters require more than legal analysis alone. Corvinus understands the legal position, and also the building, design process, construction methodology and technical evidence.

Alongside surveyors

Technical evidence is only useful when its significance to the wider position is understood. Corvinus adds contractual, legal and forensic reasoning.

Alongside construction consultants

Corvinus additionally understands property rights, contractual obligations and how evidence must withstand challenge.

Not a claims practice

The objective is not to maximise a claim. The objective is to establish what can actually be defended.
