Position

I am a Partner in the Construction and Engineering Team at Michelmores and am primarily based in their Bristol office. I joined the team from Clarke Willmott in September 2024 and prior to that worked at Burges Salmon for over 15 years.

I advise property developers, contractors, housebuilders, funders, public authorities, occupiers, investors and consultants and specialise in all aspects of non-contentious construction and engineering law, real estate development and real estate finance. I have extensive experience across a broad range of construction project procurement including design and build, traditional and construction management, as well as the various standard forms including the JCT and NEC.

My work ranges across a broad range of projects and sectors including mixed-use commercial developments, offices, retail, leisure housebuilding and education and covers both national and regional projects.

I have been an active member of Constructing Excellence South West, where I previously sat on their Leadership Council and Procurement Working Group where I co-authored their “Top Ten Principles of Procurement” guide. I have previously chaired the SW branch of the National Association of Women in Construction and am also a member of the Forum for the Built Environment.
