HFW
HFW‘s construction specialist team is led by Max Wieliczko, alongside the firm’s global team lead Michael Sergeant. It regularly advises its key client list on the construction and development of significant infrastructure projects, particularly in offshore wind contexts. The team has strong capabilities handling disputes involving high-value and often cross-jurisdictional projects, as well as advisory work. Energy disputes are an area of focus for Richard Booth. The team has grown at associate level and with the January 2023 arrival from Duane Morris of legal director with energy disputes experience, Tanya Chadha.
