I regularly advise clients on the contracting strategy for large scale construction projects, with particular expertise in the energy and resources and social infrastructure sector. I am client focused, with an emphasis on finding practical solutions that will deliver a successful project outcome.

I have also acted for both principals and contractors in arbitrations, adjudications and disputes in the Supreme Court. My experience over the full life cycle of a project gives me a unique understanding of the key issues that arise on construction projects, and my organised and efficient approach helps to ensure projects move forward.
