# MCMS Ltd

MCMS Ltd is a specialist dispute resolution practice based in London, led by founders Matt Molloy and Jonathan Cope. The firm serves the construction, engineering and energy sectors across the UK and internationally, providing third-party neutral dispute resolution and dispute avoidance services.

What distinguishes MCMS is the distinctive blend of technical expertise and legal knowledge that both principals bring to their work. Rather than operating as a traditional law firm, the practice offers a more nuanced, industry-focused approach to resolving construction and engineering disputes. This technical grounding allows them to understand the operational and practical dimensions of disputes that purely legal practitioners might overlook.

The firm operates across the full spectrum of dispute resolution mechanisms, from early-stage mediation and expert determination through to formal adjudication and arbitration. They also offer proactive dispute prevention services through dispute boards, helping clients avoid costly conflicts before they escalate.

Beyond their core advisory services, MCMS demonstrates thought leadership through publications and education. The partners have co-authored "Adjudicating Construction and Engineering Disputes," contribute to industry publications, and maintain an active blog sharing insights with their sector. They also invest in developing the next generation through a pupillage programme.

Their credibility is reinforced by memberships across leading professional bodies including CEDR, RICS, RIBA, ICE, FIDIC and CIArb, positioning them within the established dispute resolution ecosystem.
