Mill Court Consultants was founded in 2009 by Benjamin Bjork. We support contractors, subcontractors and employers on large, technically demanding and often international projects where the contract really matters. Our work runs from day to day contract management on site, through preparing and answering claims, to resolving disputes through negotiation, mediation, expert determination, adjudication and arbitration. We also help contractors with payment disputes under the Construction Act, and review delay and quantum on construction insurance claims.
We Are Mill Court
Independent Contract, Commercial and Claims Consultants for Complex Projects
Recent work has taken us from UK building and infrastructure projects to offshore wind in Europe and Asia. We can join your team for the length of a project, or step in for a single task such as a claim, a contract review or an adjudication. Either way, you deal directly with the consultant doing the work. Closer to home, we work with contractors and subcontractors across Doncaster and South Yorkshire.
