I lead the Commercial & Infrastructure Department and as a partner work with clients in the construction team specialising in transactional matters.
My role as head of the Commercial & Infrastructure Department is hugely rewarding as I get to support a talented and motivated set of lawyers who are constantly striving to deliver excellent results for our clients. Commercial & Infrastructure covers a broad set of skills and experience and one of our real strengths is bringing the right team together to deliver what can be very complex and challenging projects.
My own experience has in recent years focussed on formulating effective procurement and contracting strategies for both capital projects and long-term asset management programmes. This experience encompasses corporate and contractual joint ventures, development agreements, construction contracts, framework and term contracts, consultant appointments and all associated security documentation.
He is extremely able and we feel very confident in his advice...he is particularly skilled at thinking strategically and handling relationships...very amiable, client-focused and good in negotiation meetings.
