Slaughter and May advised Everton Football Club on its construction contract with Laing O’Rourke to deliver the final phase of the Club’s new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.

Under the contract, Laing O’Rourke will deliver a programme of works which includes the full construction of the stadium and public realm, and remedial works to the Grade II listed Hydraulic Tower at the site.

Denise Barrett-Baxendale, Chief Executive of Everton, said of the project: “This is an important agreement at a crucial time for the Club and the stadium project. Our agreement with Laing O’Rourke follows on from last year’s pre-contract services and enabling works agreements and brings clarity on the overall costs of our new stadium.”
