Josh is an experienced Senior Associate specialising in all aspects of construction disputes and their resolution. Josh has acted for clients from all tiers of the contracting supply chain; from employers and developers, all the way down to specialist subcontractors, and across a broad spectrum of sectors. Josh is well versed in commencing and defending adjudications, representing parties in complex litigation and assisting them in navigating issues on projects from inception to completion. Josh is described as a “real fighter” when it comes to his clients’ interests.

Before qualification Josh spent four years working in the industry, first at an M&E contractor and then as a consultant. 

Josh has particular experience in the energy from waste, defence, nuclear and rail sectors, in addition to more traditional building projects.

This allows Josh to offer a unique perspective to clients; providing both practical and commercial solutions to issues as they arise.
