Experience

ARBITRATION AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION EXPERIENCE

As a Chartered Quantity Surveyor with over 40 years experience, the vast majority of which has been spent in Consultancy, I have practiced in the Middle East Region for the past 20 years. I have acted on behalf of many clients over the years resolving contractual and commercial disputes in both informal and formal dispute resolution environments. In the last few years I have acted as sole arbitrator on three separate occasions in disputes involving Main Contractor/Sub Contractor, Architect/Client and multi unit property purchase. I have also served as a member of three-man tribunals. I have acted as expert witness (Quantum) on a number of construction industry disputes which have been the subject of arbitration proceedings. I have extensive knowledge of all of the main forms of contract commonly used in the Region and have a good understanding and appreciation of the many cultural issues which can impact the dispute resolution process.
