Contentious-Construction

Linzi is a partner in our Edinburgh office, specialising in construction and engineering dispute resolution. She has extensive experience in advising UK and international clients, providing them with pre-litigation and litigation expertise.

Linzi's practice includes advising on multi-million-pound onshore and offshore construction projects arising out of a wide variety of industries such as infrastructure (buildings, hotels, shopping centres, housing developments), energy (oil and gas decommissioning), renewables (offshore and onshore windfarms) and transport (roads and ports). A key focus for Linzi is also advising PPP/PFI clients throughout the duration of the facilities management term and providing advice on an array of issues including, for example, the end of the defects liability period.

She advises in respect of all major UK construction standard form contracts, as well as bespoke agreements, and has a wealth of experience in court actions, along with mediation, adjudication and international arbitration.

After studying at University of Glasgow (and University at Buffalo), receiving a First Class Honours Degree, Linzi joined Dentons in 2010 as a trainee and qualified as a solicitor in Scotland in 2012. During her time at Dentons, she has also undertaken a seven-month secondment to EDP Renewables in preparation for them successfully bidding for a CfD. Acting as general counsel, Linzi was negotiating contracts and advising on an array of commercial matters which has allowed her to better understand the commercial needs of her clients.
