At Pinsent Masons LLP, the construction team is housed within two departments, one focused on contentious work and the other handling front-end matters and finance; the former is co-headed by Jason Smit and Junaid Banoobhai, and the latter is led by Jurg Van Dyk, who advises on the construction aspects of prominent renewable energy projects. Thomas King assists contractors and developers with the entire life cycle of construction, infrastructure and energy projects, and fields expertise in contractual matters. On the contentious side, Themba Chauke and Andrew Fawcett regularly handle contractual litigation, alongside Angela Lawrence, who has established strength in representing engineers, employers, developers and contractors in disputes concerning projects using FIDIC, NEC and JBCC contracts. Chloé de Jager is also singled out for her contribution.
