MCLP is committed to providing effective legal services with a strategic approach. We act for owners, builders and other licenced trades. With a comprehensive understanding of the regulatory environment and legal aspects of the building and construction industry, MCLP will work with you to understand your business needs, in order to provide you with timely and cost-effective legal advice. 

MCLP are more than just lawyers. Consider us your legal partners. We are a one stop shop for all your building and construction legal issues. Whether it is licensing, contract, nuisance, employment or industrial issues, we can assist you. 

The building & construction industry is riddled with complex litigation and contracts. If your contracts are not well drafted and your disputes not well managed, trading in the building and construction industry can become a high risk business endeavour.
