I have over 10 years' experience advising developer, employer, contractor and sub-contractor clients on construction, engineering and outsourcing disputes.

I am well versed advising on a wide range of construction issues including defects, final account, delay and loss and expense claims. 
 
I have been involved in several high value multi-party disputes in the Technology and Construction Court achieving, successful outcomes for the client in each including most recently Blackpool Borough Council v Volkerfitzpatrick Limited [2020] EWHC 1523 (TCC) and previously securing a 98% recovery in a claim arising from glazing failures caused by nickel sulphide inclusions at the former Stock Exchange building, 125 Old Broad Street.
