Construction disputes specialist with deep sector experience

I’m a Principal Associate in our Construction and Engineering team, advising on a broad range of contentious issues including payment disputes, delay claims, defects, cladding, and professional negligence. I represent clients in adjudications, mediations and proceedings in the Technology and Construction Court (TCC), helping them resolve complex disputes with clarity and confidence.

I joined Shoosmiths in 2016 and bring over a decade of experience, including a background in insurance litigation. My recent work includes acting for international contractors, national housebuilders, automotive manufacturers and conservation charities on high-value disputes and strategic risk management.

I’m a trainee supervisor and contribute to mentoring and development initiatives across the firm.
