IPOS Mediation

After over 40 years’ experience in private practice, Tim developed a reputation as the most experienced and well-regarded construction lawyer in Ireland. He has dealt with public authorities, developers, architects, engineers, surveyors and builders on all aspects of construction projects and has been consulted by private developers and public authorities in relation to most of the major construction projects undertaken in Ireland over the past three decades.  Since leaving private practice, Tim is now mediating full time both in Ireland and the UK. His practice naturally has a focus on the construction and property sector but, increasingly, he is asked to mediate a wide variety of commercial disputes.
