They've been called bottom feeders and ambulance chasers, but who knew lawyers were also masters of surprise? Not me.
Sports-mad law firm Wedlake Bell startled me last week by holding a seminar for builders on how to avoid Wembley-style stadium disasters.
I would have thought that the legal eagles would have been smacking their lips quietly at the thought of more legal dispute action, instead of telling people how to avoid it.

Most of the time lawyers are desperate to stop the normal mistakes we all make. The amount of time that people spend at the start of a job doing the cotnracts and then just ingnoring them is amazing. Do you know any site managers who actually read any contracts?
and yet they are the very agreements we all say yup we'll do that. Just wait till you hear about the new NEC contracts - so much paperwork.
Really lawyers want new problems not old ones.
