"I am a commercial litigation lawyer assisting clients with a wide range of commercial litigation claims and with a special interest in construction disputes.”
I am a member of the commercial litigation team, having joined Higgs as a senior associate in November 2021. Prior to joining Higgs, I was a solicitor of another large regional law firm.
I advise on a wide range of commercial litigation matters including breach of contract claims, claims amongst directors and shareholders, claims relating to reputation management, claims relating to restrictive covenants and claims arising from the supply of goods and services.
In addition, I advise in relation to construction industry specific legislation and have experience advancing and defending contentious construction disputes, including matters referred to adjudication.
