Work Department
I am a projects lawyer whose career in engineering and building sectors has spanned the full project lifecycle from negotiation of complex contracts, mind-project advice to disputes in many jurisdictions.

Career
My projects-related expertise spans the full life cycle of projects from procurement and contract negotiation and risk analysis to mid-project advice to post-project disputes. I have spent the last six years, prior to joining DWF, in a senior in-house role at a global engineering firm. I developed deep experience across many sectors including Water, Rail, Multi-use Development, PPP Infrastructure, Energy, Airports, Technology Hubs, and Environmental. I oversaw litigation in over a dozen countries and have advocated in mediations, adjudications and arbitrations on many files.
I hope to parlay my broad in-house exposure to projects in some 40 countries, M & A transactions, Irish leases, Employment law, Data Privacy and Corporate governance into cross-selling opportunities across the DWF offerings and offices.
I am Canadian and have worked for seven years there, in commercial and construction litigation with an early specialism in insurance defence work.
