Clear and pragmatic advice, both in consultation and in writing, based on extensive knowledge and experience in this area of law.
Gatehouse Chambers advises on matters across the full range of the construction spectrum, covering insurance claims, energy, and engineering disputes. The chambers is home to a deep bench of construction law experts, with a particularly strong and active number of juniors. Leading junior Ebony Alleyne was recently instructed as sole counsel in a high-value professional negligence claim against project architects. Louis Zvesper represented Southern Electric Power Distribution plc in a successful claim against OCU Modus, acting as sole counsel. Sarah McCann KC took silk in 2026.

George Eyre is an extremely bright individual. He has been an absolutely invaluable junior on a large commercial dispute on which I have been working. He is very pragmatic and is able to focus on what really matters without getting bogged down in the weeds, whether that be when settling pleadings or attempting to negotiate lengthy lists of issues for disclosure.
