I am a Senior Associate in the Construction and Engineering Contract Management and Dispute Resolution team.
I have experience in assisting and advising clients on the resolution and avoidance of a wide variety of construction disputes. I deal with disputes relating to issues involving changes/variations, compensation events/relevant events, loss & expense, delay, payment (both interim payments and final account) and defects.
I act on behalf of clients in both public and private sections to include developers, local authorities, NHS trusts, housing associations, contractors and consultants alike across a range of projects and have experience of litigation in the Technology & Construction Court, Adjudication, Arbitration and Mediation.

- Supporting a key client on the delivery of a £30bn project where I provided advice on the merits of numerous delay and cost claims arising from various subcontractor packages.
- Advising on an £33m adjudication brought against a developer client.
- Assisting on a series of 4 adjudications (within a 13-month time period), resulting in a saving of £5m to the client against sums claimed by the contractor.
- Assisting on an arbitration under the LCIA Rules, resulting in a seven-figure settlement.
- Assisting on a £3.5m professional negligence adjudication on behalf of a local authority client against a multi-disciplinary design team.
