Double success for Andrew Milner
Society of Construction Law Prize
Andrew Milner has been awarded the Society of Construction Law Prize for Best Dissertation in Construction Law and Practice at the University of Salford and Salford Law school dinner and prize giving ceremony held at The Point, Lancashire Cricket Club in July 2011.

Projects usually involve protracted correspondence in the tender period leading up to the making of the contract and often work starts before any contract is agreed’.
