With the world’s ever-increasing want to press matters to litigation, the construction industry being no exception, Hills have for sometime provided a legal service advice section. The aim of this section is to provide advice to Clients, Contractors and Sub-Contractors on contractual matters with advice on mediation, adjudication and arbitration proceedings should these be required.

Since the introduction of the Housing Grants Regeneration Act which brought with it Adjudication, Hills have represented clients either as claimant or respondent in a lar ge number of cases.  However, with the ‘Courts’ increasing desire to resolve disputes quickly Hills have become involved in Mediation/Conciliation working on the Exeter Courts Scheme and have currently two Accredited Mediators in the dispute resolution team.  Hills' staff have also been and continue to be listed on a number of professional body panels as Arbitrators receiving a number of cases being referred to this form of resolution each year.
