Personal bio
David is a solicitor specialising in construction and engineering disputes, with experience advising on complex, high‑value projects across the EMEA region. His work primarily involves international arbitration and dispute resolution arising out of major infrastructure and energy developments, frequently under FIDIC‑based contractual frameworks and involving joint venture structures.
He has acted on disputes relating to a wide range of technically complex projects, including large‑scale solar photovoltaic plants, desalination facilities, captive power and industrial process plants, sewage treatment works, and other energy and utilities infrastructure. These matters have commonly involved claims for delay, disruption, variations, defects, termination, and quantum, often requiring close engagement with expert evidence and extensive project records.
David’s practice is informed by substantial prior experience in quantum and contract advisory roles on major construction projects, which underpins a detailed understanding of cost, time, and risk issues as they arise in practice. This background enables him to contribute effectively to disputes involving complex technical and commercial issues.
