The construction group at Ipswich-based firm Prettys Solicitors LLP is ‘always readily available and provides detailed legal advice, whilst also considering the commercial attributes of the matter’. The firm predominantly handles disputes, and is increasing its non-contentious workload, notably the negotiation of contracts in the logistics and healthcare sectors. Practice head Peter Blake specialises in contentious matters; he is ably supported by Michael Booth, whose broad litigation practice includes heavyweight construction disputes.
