Kathryn Kligerman

Kathryn drafted and negotiated a building contract and associated construction documentation for a registered provider in relation to a flagship scheme in Central London. This involved negotiating with a commercial tenant and their fit out contractor as well as the phase 1 design and build contractor.

Kathryn advised a social housing provider in the North West in relation to a £17m professional negligence claim against their Employer’s Agent in relation to defective heating and drainage systems in a large extra care housing scheme.

Kathryn is currently advising a large London based registered provider in relation to a defective housing scheme. The defects relate to the operation of the heating and hot water system and the common problem of overheating in the communal areas. Due to her commercial awareness Kathryn has been able to assist the client in managing the resident’s expectations and to mitigate their losses.

Kathryn advised a social housing provider in relation to a defective lift in a London scheme. Kathryn’s advice led to a settlement at Final Account stage with the Contractor.

Kathryn regularly advises both Referring and Responding parties at adjudication in relation to a wide range of construction disputes including, for example, time and money claims, breach of contract, the validity of termination, contract interpretation and Final Account disputes.
