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.

Providence v Hexagon: what the Supreme Court decision means for your contracts
21.01.2026
The Supreme Court has (15 January 2026) overturned the Court of Appeal's decision and confirmed that a right to terminate a JCT contract pursuant to clause 8.9.3 must have accrued before the right to terminate can arise under clause 8.9.4. In doing so, the Supreme Court also reaffirmed the courts' approach to interpreting both bespoke and standard form contracts.
