Representing clients from across the energy, healthcare, and infrastructure spaces, the Mills & Reeve LLP team is ‘a cut above many’, routinely drafting construction contracts and advising on redevelopment projects. The practice’s contentious offering is broad, covering cases relating to fire safety defects, unlawful contract terminations and disputes arising between clients and contractors. The duo of Stuart Pemble and Martino Giaquinto co-head the division from Birmingham, with the former specialising in project management and transactional construction issues, whilst the ’very impressive’ latter being an expert in energy-based cases. Caroline Foster focuses on development finance agreements, and both Jastinder Samra and Iain Murdoch are also highlighted as key.

‘Our principal contact is Martino Giaquinto. Martino is our first call in the event of a serious contentious matter. Martino has a proven track record of being able to grasp key facts very quickly, and will work with us to develop a strategy that is often very different (and better) than we might have developed if left to our own devices.'
