Dispute Resolution

Biography

I specialise in contentious construction matters, including claims relating to breach of contract, the recovery of interim and final payments, valuation and variation disputes, defective works and professional negligence.ย  I act for developers, contractors, sub-contractors and individuals.

I am experienced in referring and responding to adjudications and firmly believe in this method of resolving construction disputes.

I run theย NFU LAS schemeย and am the firmโ€™s main point of contact with the NFU.ย  I advise agricultural and farming clients on a range of disputes, including adverse possession, rights of way, easements, boundary issues, rights of light, contracts and commercial claims.

Delivering what you really need

I understand the stress and financial implications of any form of dispute and will always provide commercial advice, allowing my clients to make informed commercial decisions from the outset.

I believe that alternative dispute resolution is a powerful tool, and I proactively seek to negotiate and settle disputes where possible, including through mediation.ย  The Legal 500 2020 edition describes me as โ€œwell-versed in ADRโ€.
