The ‘well-qualified and dedicated’ Sheffield-based team at CMS stands out for its advice on contentious matters, with practice co-head Fraser Askham regularly acting for contractors and developers in fire safety, defect and contract disputes. Working with companies in the energy and healthcare sectors as well as a number of public sector clients, the team is frequently called on to handle developments and infrastructure projects. In this space, non-contentious expert Helen Johnson, who co-leads the practice and advises on major contracting and transaction matters, is highly recommended. Of Counsel Jenny Whipps, whose expertise lies in dispute resolution, is also a key contact.
