In the studio today, I am joined by Connor Mennell. Connor is a Construction solicitor specialising in transactional and contentious dispute work at Gordons LLP.

Connor has negotiated and advised on the terms of building contracts and knows the JCT and NEC standard forms. Connor also has experience resolving disputes through litigation, adjudication and mediation and providing commercial advice during ongoing projects to avoid formal disputes.

In today’s conversation, Connor talks about Collateral Warranties, what they are, why the industry has them and how to get them right. I was on an incredibly high-profile project once, where the client was a huge bank, and they asked for a Collateral Warranty, but they did so post-contract, and it was a drawn-out and expensive affair which Connor says is not unusual.

In this episode, we discuss how to avoid these pitfalls. You must listen to this episode if you’re a QS or a Main Contractor.
