Position

Brenna Conroy specialises in construction, international arbitration, professional negligence and energy work and is recommended in Chambers and Partners as “a star of the future”, and described as “approachable, bright and incredibly sharp”. Due to the quality of her written work and advocacy, Brenna was appointed to the prestigious Attorney General’s B Panel this year.

Brenna’s reputation at the Construction Bar resulted in her being listed in Legal Week’s “Stars at the Bar 2017” as one of 12 most highly rated commercial barristers under 10 years call. Brenna was recommended as “quick-thinking [and] hardworking” and as having “a wider understanding of not just the legal perspective, but tactical strategy, demonstrated by her proficiently arguing complicated legal points.”

Brenna has built up a strong domestic and international practice, with a particular interest in construction and energy work and has been involved in a number of high-profile cases in the TCC as well as complex, high value international arbitration proceedings. Over the last 2 years she has been involved in several high value disputes concerning drillships, power plants, sports centres and infrastructure. She has been led in several UK court cases and adjudications as well as very high profile arbitrations involving projects in Georgia, Korea, South Africa, Saudi Arabia and Australia.

Brenna has built up a busy construction practice in her own right, and has had a number of reported cases, one of which had important implications for payment and one for adjudication within the industry. She has also received judicial praise in a number of her reported cases for her succinct and skillful advocacy.

Brenna is a contributing editor of the Construction Law Reports and Keating on Construction Contracts.

In chambers, Brenna sits on the pupillage committee and is a pupil supervisor. Brenna also sits on the GDL and Bar Course Scholarship Interview panels for Lincoln’s Inn.
