I am a Partner and Head of Construction Law at HCR Hewitsons.

I work across our platform of 10 offices stretching from East to West, including in Birmingham, Cambridge, Cardiff and the City of London. Our international network, LawExchange enables us to provide clients with international reach via 36 trusted independent law firms in 30 countries across Europe, North and South America, the Asia/Pacific region and the Middle East (www.lawexchange.org).

I am both a transactional and contentious construction lawyer, with particular expertise in standard form contracts including the JCT, NEC, FIDIC, ACE and ACA forms.

My key focus sectors include education, energy and working with construction product suppliers. I also have expertise in the clean energy and the sustainable construction sector.
