Warren is a construction and engineering law specialist with 17 years’ experience in the construction sector.
Warren manages disputes in the High Court, arbitration and adjudication. Warren’s thoroughness enables him to identify the key issues quickly. From the beginning of a dispute, he is always thinking about the exit strategy. He is always looking to achieve the right result for his client at the earliest stage.
Warren also advises in respect of transactions. This may be drafting a complex bespoke contract, amending a standard form contract, or reviewing and commenting on project documents. Warren’s approach is to help clients understand the risks involved in a project and then seek to allocate those risks appropriately between the parties. If risk allocation is clear in the contract documents, any later disputes are often easier to manage and resolve.
