About Us.
Practical commercial legal advice built around relationships, clarity and outcomes.
Josh McCormack – Solicitor, Director.
Josh combines extensive litigation experience with deep sector knowledge across construction, manufacturing and mining services. Having worked in both private practice and in-house for a FTSE-100 publicly listed company, he brings a practical understanding of the legal, commercial and strategic pressures businesses face.
In the construction and infrastructure space, Josh works closely with developers, contractors, asset owners and builders on contract drafting, project delivery and disputes. He has particular experience helping businesses navigate risk allocation, variations, security of payment and termination issues under standard-form and bespoke contracts.
Josh brings specialist insight into the manufacturing and mining services sectors, having spent an extended period working exclusively for a leading mining services and engineering company. He now supports OEMs, distributors, fabricators and suppliers across the full supply chain, providing clear and commercially-focused advice on contracts, procurement, compliance and disputes.
Josh advises a broad range of clients, from sole traders and SMEs through to large national and multinational organisations. Clients value Josh’s commercially focused advice and his ability to move matters forward without unnecessary complexity.
