My years of experience across sectors and strong understanding of current market positions means that I can efficiently assist clients with their project, procurement and constructions activities. I am a strong communicator with exceptional organisational skills. For that reason, I regularly project manage large projects and disputes, providing a key point of contact for clients, and managing a large team of internal lawyers and external stakeholders.
