Charlie is described as “just a class act with quality of work beyond his call“. His experience covers not only domestic but also international disputes, such as CAR matters in respect of Saudi Arabian engineering projects, Qatari gas processing facilities and contractual disputes relating to developments in St Vincent and the Grenadines.

Charlie, who is described as “a star of the future” has also been working as a junior in high value CAR claims arising out of sand ingress damage in wind turbines in Saudi Arabia, as part of a team on a large arbitration arising out of gas processing works in Qatar and on Contractors’ All Risks (“CAR”) matters closer to home.

Charlie has experience in relation to a variety of standard form contracts including FIDIC, NEC and the JCT forms. Of late, he has also been involved in numerous construction, adjudication and related professional liability matters in his own right; these include a multi-million-pound final account loss and expense dispute arising out of hotel development works in Piccadilly, allegations of professional negligence against a firm of architects in relation to a large-scale commercial development in North Wales and a contractual dispute in respect of a data processing facility in Belgium.

Whilst on a Pegasus Scholarship in the Middle East, Charlie worked with the DIFC Courts. During this time, he was involved in the DIFC Courts of the Future Forum (convened to meet the demands of future litigation and design the courts of the future) and, in particular, drafted the first round of the procedural rules for the courts of the future, speaking at the launch event for this international project.
