Fladgate LLP

Construction.

I have over 20 years’ experience as a construction lawyer.

I have acted for a wide range of clients – developers, a variety of lenders, contractors and consultants, ranging from large corporate entities to entrepreneurs. Most of my work has been in the UK property market but I have also undertaken a number of international projects and acted for international clients.

My focus is on transactional work. During my career I have been lucky to have advised on some fabulous landmark developments including St Pancras Chambers, the Emirates Airline Cable Car and for the last 13 years, the phased redevelopment of Wembley Park.

I have worked principally on mixed use and residential developments (including a significant build to rent element), but I have undertaken projects involving designer outlet centres, city centre redevelopments, hotels, offices, railways and infrastructure.

I have also developed an expertise in sports related construction projects - helping with football stadium developments and venue use agreements. I have negotiated agreements involving the NFL, LOCOG and the UEFA.

I am also a member of the CIC liability panel.

I am genuinely fascinated to see the finished developments I work on and what can be achieved in terms of architecture and interior design.

When I am not working, I can usually be found either out with my family or at home knitting, quilting or cooking. More recently, and in common with many clients and colleagues, I have also become a part - time primary school teacher and a trainee hairdresser.
