About me

I’m a Senior Associate specialising in contentious construction with significant experience in adjudication, arbitration and litigation (including adjudication enforcement). I help clients navigate complex and high-stake disagreements and provide strategic advice to achieve practical solutions to protect their commercial interests.

My experience spans various sectors, including energy, infrastructure, commercial, healthcare and residential. I provide strategic, commercially focused advice, helping clients resolve high-stakes disputes while protecting their long-term interests.

I have experience in other legal areas which has strengthened my analytical and advocacy skills, and allows me to approach matters with a broader perspective. I take an assertive approach to resolving high-value and highly complex disputes, ensuring that my clients’ positions are advanced robustly and effectively.
