Anne-Marie Friel provides non-contentious construction knowledge to an array of matters, with a growing international practice that heavily features on sustainability and digital ventures.

Boasting an impressive understanding of PPP contractual structures, Alastair Dale handles the civil works elements on a number of key transport projects in the UK. Newly promoted legal director Gina Fogarty acts for a host of privately and publicly-owned entities on infrastructure projects, covering development, construction and commercial matters.
