Commenting on the first edition, Adam said:
“I am delighted to launch Trinity Chambers Construction Law Brief which is intended to be a quarterly publication covering all aspects of construction law. I hope that it appeals to practitioners at all levels and the wider construction industry as an informative and accessible way of keeping up to speed with developments in construction and engineering law”.
