Security of Payment

Whiteley Ironside & Shillington provides expert legal services in Building and Construction Law.

The Security of Payments Act (“SOPA”) is designed to ensure that those who are working in the construction industry are paid on time and in full. If you are a contractor or subcontractor and are having issues with late or non-payment of your invoices, we can help you.

We have a thorough understanding of the SOPA and can help you understand your rights and obligations. We will work to ensure that you receive the payments that you are entitled to. Cash flow is essential to a successful business and any delay in payment can have a significant impact on your business. We will provide you with timely and effective legal advice to ensure that your business is not adversely affected for too long.

We have experience in various types of dispute resolution and litigation relating to the SOPA and will help you settle your claim in the most timely and efficient manner.

Do not hesitate to contact us if you are having issues with obtaining the payments that you are entitled to receive under the SOPA.
