Expertise

Jake is an Associate in our contentious construction, engineering and projects team. Previously, Jake has had a mixed practice across the spectrum of the firm's clients, and he has consequently gained a wide range of experience. 

Jake's practice focusses predominantly on domestic dispute resolution both in the High Court and via adjudication. His domestic work has included acting in contractual claims for defects rectification and delay, acting in respect of payment disputes under the Scheme for Construction Contracts and advising clients on managing disputes pro-actively prior to commencement of formal proceedings. 

Following his non-contentious experience acting for them, Jake predominantly acts for employer-side entities including property developers of student accommodation and high-end residential units, retail entities building warehouses, football teams developing their property and UK-based utilities companies. In addition, Jake has developed his practice into acting for schools, colleges and higher educational establishments, helping them in all aspects of construction disputes and dispute avoidance.  

Alongside his domestic work Jakes is part of the firm's international arbitration team and has experience acting in high-value disputes relating to infrastructure development in the GCC.
