I am a dual-qualified civil engineer and quantity surveyor with more than 20 years' international experience advising on complex construction, engineering, infrastructure and operational asset disputes.

My work focuses on quantum analysis across the full asset lifecycle, from the delivery of major capital projects through to the operation and maintenance of infrastructure and asset portfolios. I have experience across rail, roads, energy, nuclear, real estate, facilities management and infrastructure operations.

I have acted as a quantum expert in arbitration, adjudication and litigation, including disputes involving prolongation costs, variations, GMP pricing mechanisms, operational expenditure, lifecycle maintenance obligations and commercial negligence claims.

Fluent in German and English, I regularly advise on complex international disputes under FIDIC, NEC, IChemE, JCT and DBFO-based contracts.
