Property Disputes
Kate’s focus is on preventing disputes where possible and seeking commercial resolutions which align with her client’s goals when disputes do arise.
As Head of Construction Disputes and ranked as a leader in her specialist field in the legal directories, Kate has a reputation for providing clear, strategic advice on project risk management and the resolution of a wide range of construction disputes via numerous means (including court proceedings, mediation and adjudication).
Kate regularly handles disputes involving defects, delay and payment issues. Her clients include developers / employers, main contractors and specialist sub-contractors.
What clients say about Kate:
“Kate knows the construction industry and the law and is always really up to date with the issues. She’s also tactically brilliant and comes up with utterly fantastic ideas on a case.” “She is really knowledgeable and easy to work with.” “Kate is a real superstar who is brilliant strategically.”
By standing in my client’s shoes from the outset and understanding the crux of the issues in play, I enjoy resolving a range of complex, high value construction disputes.
