With over 27 years of experience in construction law, I specialise in the avoidance, management and resolution of complex, high-value disputes across a broad range of sectors including energy (renewable and oil & gas), transport, residential, waste management, telecoms, utilities, rail and hospitality.  I also have a growing practice advising Local Authorities, SPVs and delivery contractors on PFI projects approaching hand-back.

My expertise covers technically complex, multi-party litigation, adjudication and alternative dispute resolution.  I regularly advise on contractual risk, regulatory compliance and dispute resolution strategies, drawing on deep sector knowledge to anticipate issues and deliver pragmatic solutions that protect commercial objectives while mitigating risk.  I also provide training to clients on these topics.

At Shoosmiths, I play a key role in expanding the firm’s nationwide advisory and contentious construction practice, helping clients deliver complex infrastructure and energy projects on time and on budget.  Clients value my technically precise advice, which is always delivered with a practical and commercial perspective, which sets out strategic, realistic and straightforward guidance to support the success of their projects.
