LLM Construction Law

Explore the law of contract by examining principles governing contractual relationships within commercial contexts. You’ll examine contract formation, contractual terms, and common issues arising during negotiations.

Discover how legal, contractual and commercial frameworks shape the construction industry. You’ll explore procurement routes, project administration, commercial processes and dispute resolution mechanisms, while developing the ability to identify legal risks and evaluate practical solutions. Gain an understanding of construction practice from project inception through to completion.

Examine the principles of tort law as they apply to construction, engineering and property development. You’ll explore duty of care, breach, causation and damages, alongside key defences to liability. Develop the skills to assess claims involving injury, property damage and economic loss arising outside contract law (civil wrongs).

Explore the practical administration of construction contracts through the study of Joint Contracts Tribunal (JCT), New Engineering Contract (NEC) and International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC) standard forms. Analyse the key provisions for effective contract management as well as impartiality, fairness and professional judgement.

Examine the legal, contractual and practical issues related to delay and disruption on construction projects. You’ll explore risk allocation as well as delay and disruption mechanisms. Develop the skills to analyse how to assess the impact of delay and disruption.

Instead of a dissertation, apply your learning in an intensive mock hearing simulation involving collaborative group work, role-based participation and evidential challenge. Following the hearing, you’ll complete a period of structured online activity culminating in individual assessment submissions comprising a formal award and reflective analysis.
