Career
Tom has specialised in both the contentious and non contentious fields of construction and engineering since qualification. He advises on projects ranging from commercial, residential and industrial developments to high value energy and waste schemes, procurement of bespoke plant and equipment as well as infrastructure and land remediation projects. On the contentious side, Tom has extensive experience of all forms of dispute resolution proceedings including mediation, adjudication, arbitration and Court. His client base includes listed companies, local authorities, developers, contractors, banks and specialist sub-contractors.
In offering advice from cradle to grave, he has developed a detailed understanding of the risks that are thrown up during construction and engineering projects and how to go about managing the same. He always strives to provide practical and commercial advice, focussed on what the client is seeking to achieve.
Tom Peel handles both contentious and non-contentious construction matters, and is known by market sources to be “very proactive, diligent and extremely competent in his field of practice.”
