David Rintoul

David is a partner in our construction team. His expertise includes contract drafting and negotiating, adjudication and all other forms of industry dispute resolution.

David has over 30 years' industry experience.

He acts for developers and owner/occupiers, main contractors, specialist sub-contractors and professional consultants. His expertise and excellent client service is also reflected in instruction by other law firms, who do not have that expertise, on behalf of their clients.

David advises on appropriate procurement strategies for construction (new build or refurbishment fit out works) and engineering projects. More generally, he advises on and negotiates proposed contract terms, bonds and guarantees, joint venture agreements, novation agreements and collateral warranties, at both tender and contract award stages.

David advises and helps clients mitigate and resolve disputes at adjudication, litigation or ADR process, arising due to defective and/or late design, defective works, failure to carry out and complete work, failure to properly supervise and/or project manage works, negligent certification and wrongful suspension or termination of work.

David also presents seminars and workshops in house for clients and for industry bodies including RICS, CIOB, FIS and BSRIA.
