About me
As a Partner in our Construction and Engineering team, I advise on contentious and non-contentious construction and engineering projects, which typically include contract interpretation, contract drafting and negotiation, dispute avoidance and dispute resolution and strategy.
My clients are predominantly engineering businesses, main building contractors, subcontractors, property developers, funders, private individuals and professional consultant practices.
I want my clients to see me as a trusted adviser, which for me means offering much more than just advising on the law. It requires commitment to developing strong, respectful relationships which allow me to operate with clients as a seamless extension to their operation. I really enjoy working at Hill Dickinson not only because of the culture but because we’ve built a great team of people with complementary skill sets and strengths who enjoy working collaboratively. This approach allows us to consistently achieve great outcomes for clients. My aim is always to be approachable, responsive, knowledgeable and experienced in the advice I give.
I also really enjoy giving something back and I’m proud of the work we’ve done with charities, particularly with the Onside team in relation to the construction of youth zones across the UK.
