Focusing on insurance related matters, the contentious construction team at Kennedys is ‘top of their field’, regularly handling due diligence breaches, design defects and exclusions, and fire safety and cladding issues. The London team is led by Iain Corbett and Amanda Hanmore, specialising in major international infrastructure projects and development and regeneration projects respectively. Tom Stapleton is a highly active member of the team, assisting with cross-border power generation disputes, while the ’fantastic’ Louis Foscolo handles complex offshore wind issues and delays in the energy sector. Giuseppe Picanza is another key member of the team, alongside ‘definitive star of the future’ Phoebe Penman.
