Devonshires Solicitors LLP

Construction

Sasha is a Partner in our Construction team, specialising in non- contentious construction law. Sasha joined the team in October 2020, having previously qualified into Fladgate’s non-contentious construction team.

She has 8 years’ extensive experience advising on high-value transactional matters, in both commercial and residential developments and provides strategic advice to clients from pre-planning through to project completion. Her experience includes drafting and negotiating a wide range of standard form and bespoke construction documentation including building contracts, consultant appointments, performance bonds and parent company guarantees.

Sasha regularly advises developer borrowers and is experienced working on projects supported by institutional lenders (including Lloyds Bank, Barclays Bank, Octopus, Wells Fargo and UBS), engaging in tri-partite negotiation between developer, funder and construction professional to produce “bankable” construction contracts, as well as advising on the development aspects of the loan agreement.

Sasha is also well versed in modular construction projects, drafting bespoke modular construction contracts for franchised hotel developments around the country and overseas, ensuring that the main building contract properly sits alongside the modular process. Sasha is experienced in advising developer clients on “distressed” projects, assisting the client to implement measures to protect its investment where contractors or the building supply chain are running into solvency concerns.
