Contract Management and Negotiation

Strong contract management is essential to the success of any construction, infrastructure or data centre project.

With Complex Scopes, Changing Conditions

Multiple parties and significant commercial exposure, projects need clear contractual control from the outset. I provide tailored contract and commercial management support to help clients protect their position, manage risk and improve project performance at every stage of the lifecycle.

My experience includes the management of multimillion-pound bespoke contracts, as well as standard forms including NEC3, NEC4, JCT and FIDIC. I understand the importance of getting the contract strategy right early, managing obligations properly during delivery and resolving issues before they become disputes.
