Contract Answers Solicitors is a small, specialist legal practice with a sharp focus on contract law, construction and engineering disputes, insolvency matters, and complex legal challenges. Operating primarily in Bristol, Wales, and the South West of England, the firm distinguishes itself through its deep industry knowledge, forensic approach, and ability to compete effectively against much larger law firms.
Led by Rob Jones, a litigator with three decades of experience, and supported by Jim Sheppard and a network of specialist consultants and barristers, the practice combines technical precision, tactical insight, and tenacity in dispute resolution forums. While much of their work is contentious, they also provide proactive advice to help businesses avoid disputes and are strong advocates for mediation and settlement where appropriate. The firm is particularly adept at handling intricate construction industry contracts and is comfortable working with JCT and other standard forms.
