Hugh is ranked as a leading junior in construction, engineering and technology disputes. He also has significant experience in associated fields including professional negligence, insurance, bonds and guarantees, public procurement, injunctions, and insolvency.

As a TECBAR-accredited adjudicator, Hugh has also been appointed to adjudicate in statutory and contractual adjudications.

Hugh regularly appears before the High Court (particularly in the TCC) and the County Court. He also has extensive experience in adjudications (including enforcements in the High Court) and in domestic and international arbitration. Hugh has acted for clients around the world, including in the Caribbean, China, Europe, Kazakhstan, South Africa, Turkey and throughout the Arabian Peninsula, both on matters within the UK and within their own jurisdictions.
