Professional background

During my career, I have been involved in fascinating projects in the UK and overseas including major energy, transport and infrastructure developments.

As well as my time in private practice, I have had the great privilege of being seconded to the legal department of a major international EPC contractor. That experience has shaped my ability to give quick and commercial advice to clients and really help with their strategic objectives.

I work with ICE, IchemE, JCT NEC and FIDIC, however much of what I do is on bespoke arrangements.

Specific projects I have advised on include waste to energy projects, gas storage and transportation projects, desalination plants, manufacturing facilities, hotel developments, regeneration schemes, high-end residential developments and office and retail schemes. 

I also advise bidders and the public sector on adhering to requirements of the public procurement rules.

I am Co-Head of Fieldfisher's Africa Group, which involves partners primarily from the firm's UK and French offices but draws on expertise from across the Fieldfisher network as well as our expert contacts in Africa.

In my spare time I love watching live comedy.
