Leading Scots Construction Law specialist Graham Jackson has authored a textbook in order to smooth out many of the rough areas of Scots Law affecting the construction sector.
The solicitor from Tayside's Thorntons today (23 August 2010) launched An Introduction to Construction Law in Scotland in order to introduce the practitioner to this complex area of the law and address the significant changes that have seen in recent years.
Legislation has led to a growing need for professionals to have essential information and guidance at their fingertips.The book covers all key topics in relation to the relevant legislation, with a focus on procurement, health and safety as well as Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996, including recent amendments to it.
Based in the firm's Dundee office, Graham – who has more than a decade of experience in the field – said: "The key aim of the book is to provide construction professionals and lawyers working in the construction sector who are new to the field with a full understanding of how the law is structured and a clear analysis of the real issues which will be likely to affect them on a regular basis.
An Introduction to Construction Law in Scotland is an essential tool for all those working with the legal aspects of the construction industry and the only introductory text aimed primarily at Scottish construction professionals and legal practitioners.
