What Clients Say

Our subcontractor had withheld a progress claim response for nearly three months. We engaged Kukuh Legal for CIPAA representation and the process was well-managed from start to finish. The team prepared clear, organised submissions and kept us updated at each stage. The adjudication concluded within the statutory timeline and the outcome was favourable. I would approach them again without hesitation for similar matters.

We needed a thorough review of our PAM 2018 contract before the main contractor appointment. The advisory from Kukuh Legal was detailed — they identified three clauses in the variation mechanism that we had not noticed and recommended specific amendments. The risk-allocation summary they provided became our working reference document throughout the project. Practical, not just theoretical advice.

As an M&E subcontractor, we were dealing with retention money that had not been released well beyond the defects liability period. Kukuh Legal advised us clearly on the CIPAA route and the realistic prospects. They did not oversell the outcome — they explained what was achievable given our contract terms. The claim was prepared properly and we recovered a substantial portion of what was owed.

We were facing a complex arbitration involving delay claims and contra charges. The team at Kukuh Legal provided a clear case strategy at the outset and maintained regular progress updates. The cost budget they prepared at inception was reasonably accurate — which mattered a great deal to our board when approving the engagement. The final hearing advocacy was confident and well-prepared.

We engaged Kukuh Legal to review our standard CIDB contract before a major infrastructure appointment. The team's familiarity with the standard form was evident — they moved quickly through the document and focused on the clauses that were most relevant to our project's risk profile. The amendments they recommended were accepted by the contractor with minor negotiation. A useful and efficient engagement.

The CIPAA adjudication process was new to us as a business. Kukuh Legal took the time to explain each procedural step in terms we understood before beginning the work. They were honest about what the process could and could not achieve. The experience was different from what I had expected from a law firm — more straightforward, less about billing hours.
