Fiona is a partner in our construction team who specialises in both contentious and non-contentious construction across a range of sectors, including energy, commercial and residential development, manufacturing and logistics. She works with a variety of public and private bodies, including developers, local authorities, utilities, contractors, sub-contractors, lending institutions and investment funds. Fiona offers a 'cradle to grave' service in the development and management of projects, including regulatory and health and safety advice, and the avoidance and resolution of any disputes that may arise.
Fiona has a wealth of experience in drafting and negotiating all standard form construction contracts and ancillary documentation and specialises in various forms of alternative dispute resolution, including mediation, conciliation and adjudication, as a means of resolving disputes and mitigating delay and cost overrun early on in a project life cycle.
Fiona is recognised as a 'Rising Star' in the Legal 500.
