John Coghlan (FCIArb)

Principal C&E Legal Solutions

I help clients save time & costs on their Construction and Engineering (C&E) projects, obtaining successful outcomes in their claims and disputes, across the globe. 

Specifically, I am a C&E Law specialist with over 35 years’ industry/legal experience and prior to starting C&E Legal Solutions I worked with several large international law firms (Partner/Managing Partner).

In short, I provide clients with cost effective strategic legal advice, on all stages of complex C&E Projects under a myriad of contracts including FIDIC, NEC, JCT and bespoke contracts on projects throughout the UK, Middle East, Asia, Africa, Central America and Mainland Europe.

My cost effective and client focused approach, from inception to completion, ensures in circumstances where a formal dispute arises (Courts and/or ADR), that clients are protected and prepared, which significantly increases the clients’ chances of a successful outcome in the dispute, reduces stress/disruption and allows clients to continue building their businesses.
