Professional background
My experience includes dealing in a range of construction and commercial disputes that include but are not limited to; claims for extension of time, loss and expense, variations and defects, claims against construction professionals and the recovery of interim / final payments.
I frequently act for consultants, employers, funders, local authorities, main contractors and the supply chain in a wide range of disputes including multi-million pound final account and complex delay claims.
My experience extends further than litigation and includes forms of alternative dispute resolution including, most regularly, adjudication and mediation.
