Position
Dickon is a dispute resolution solicitor who leads major disputes and dispute avoidance processes for national and international clients. His focus is on resolving disputes arising out of significant energy, infrastructure and construction projects.
Dickon’s 14 years of experience includes both high value commercial disputes and disputes in construction and engineering. That experience allows him to advise on a wide variety of issues that might arise on a project – from advising on potential issues at the outset; through assisting with management of the project and resolving problems as they arise; to project threatening disputes and final resolution of major litigation.
Alongside construction/engineering issues Dickon has strong experience advising on professional negligence and fraud recovery. Dickon frequently advises on contractual points on commercial and bespoke contracts as well as on standard forms including FIDIC, NEC, JCT, IChemE and IET. Dickon runs disputes though ADR, adjudication, the courts and arbitration.
Dickon specialises in disputes in the energy sector and in particular battery storage and solar projects. Dickon has been involved in a number of the early disputes in the battery storage space, which to date have included financing issues and catastrophic failure as well as delay and availability problems.
