Addleshaw Goddard‘s ’commercial’ construction team is jointly led by Gordon Anderson and Anne Struckmeier, often advising blue-chip clients on innovative development strategies, lending matters and contentious disputes. The ‘very responsive’ Anderson is particularly active in English projects but has recently worked on major offshore wind and solar projects. Struckmeier leads the firm’s contentious offering and is experienced at handling defective design claims and operational performance litigation; she also leverages extensive development and transaction expertise.
