My role

I qualified into the construction team in 2018. I regularly support housing associations and public sector clients with a range of projects, disputes and funding applications, usually involving construction aspects. I also support clients across the public procurement and State aid regimes, as well as through drafting construction contracts tailored towards clients’ needs and risk profile.

My experience

I have experience in supporting clients through a range of matters, including disputes and funding applications. Key examples include:

•  Supporting social housing clients through significant joint ventures working with developers, assisting through negotiations to support clients to feel comfortable that the contract documents reflect the commercial deal struck;

•  Supporting local government clients to procure significant repairs and maintenance, development and infrastructure contracts;

•  Supporting clients to help de-escalate disputes in ongoing construction contracts, helping clients to achieve a commercial outcome that best protects them moving forward; and

•  I also co-authored the legal chapter in the first book dedicated to achieving social value in construction.
