About

I am a Senior Associate in the Construction & Engineering department. I advise clients primarily in relation to contentious matters, representing a wide range of clients including Funders, Developers, Consultants, Contractors and Specialist Contractors.

I work with clients to avoid disputes by providing them with early, commercially-minded advice and assist with the drafting of contractual notices and other formal correspondence. Where disputes do arise, I seek commercial resolutions wherever possible but I also have considerable experience of resolving disputes by adjudication, expert determination, mediation, arbitration and litigation.

I also have experience with the NEC, JCT, and FIDIC standard form contracts and subcontracts, as well as with bespoke contracts.
