About me

I’m a construction and professional negligence specialist who works with developers, contractors and consultants. I’m an expert in the area of contentious construction while also skilled at advising clients on how best to navigate the provisions of the Building Safety Act.

A strategic thinker, I scrutinise a situation from every perspective, leaving no stone unturned to ensure the client knows their options, supporting their decision on how best to move forward with assurance.

I have a strong background in construction-related professional negligence claims. This provides me with a treasure trove of knowledge, and I draw on this to help clients find inventive ways to address challenges.

I have a gift for finding the right way to resolve disputes, no matter how complex. I’m experienced at alternative dispute resolution like mediation, as well as in litigation, arbitration and adjudication.

I’m lucky enough to see clients overcome the odds and secure fantastic results. The fact I get to support them on that journey is something I always find deeply fulfilling.
