Keating Chambers

Jennie is a well-regarded and experienced specialist in oral and written advocacy in high-value, and complex, construction, infrastructure and energy disputes. Jennie’s practice is a balance of international arbitration, domestic litigation and related ADR.

Jennie was awarded “Construction Junior of the Year” for 2024, and again in 2026, at the Legal 500 MENA Awards.  She is ranked as a leading junior by Chambers & Partners and the Legal 500 in Construction, Energy, International Arbitration and the Middle East. She has been described as “a legal wizard”, “a master tactician”, “meticulous and thorough”, “user-friendly and down-to-earth”, being “strategic and thoughtful”, having “an elegant drafting style”, “undaunted by large and complex cases”, “someone you want on your team” and “in reality, already a star”.

She is familiar with contracts incorporating JCT, FIDIC, NEC and PFI terms. Her experience includes: disputes subject to the ICC, DIAC, ADCCAC, MCCI and UNCITRAL rules; projects in the UK, Isle of Man, UAE, Qatar, Oman, Australia, South Africa, Slovakia and Mauritius; and disputes concerning four international airports, four power stations, three major hospitals, hotels, housing developments, retail premises, vessels, marine structures, dredging, roads and tunnels.

Her recent domestic instructions include: Building Safety Act 2022 matters (including in the FTT and an appeal to the Supreme Court); “live” advice in relation to major London infrastructure/development projects; and a major PFI termination account dispute.
