I am a construction and engineering lawyer and head of our Commercial and Infrastructure department which covers construction & engineering, major projects, commercial and governance law. My particular focus areas within my sector includes education, health, commercial and regeneration projects.
In education, I lead the firm's team focusing on the building and refurbishment of schools, academies and colleges, an area of work where Bevan Brittan is a market leader.
I am also a member of the firm's Board which develops and oversees the delivery of our strategy.
Seminars and Training:
I participate in a number of seminars the firm runs for our local authority, central government and private sector clients, delivering training on construction law and infrastructure matters.
