HELP CHOOSING YOUR JCT CONTRACT

Whilst Sweet & Maxwell and the JCT offer this general guidance on choosing the appropriate JCT Contract, all users must rely exclusively upon their own skill and judgment or upon those of their advisers when using any document in the specific circumstances for which they require it and neither Sweet & Maxwell nor its associated companies assume any liability to any user or any third party in connection with such use.

In this section you'll find information on finding the contract you need and the Migration from JCT 98 to JCT 05
