Before specialising in construction and engineering law, Kieran practised in civil and commercial litigation for over nine years – five of those as an advocate.

  • Multi-million pound IT service contract disputes
  • Defective cladding system claims.

He has represented clients in all dispute resolution forums, including adjudication, arbitration, mediation and litigation; predominantly in the Technology and Construction Court. Areas of dispute have included defective work and design, payment, loss and expense, variations, extensions of time and contract formation, including declaratory relief.

Kieran is experienced in advising on and preparing a wide suite of construction documentation, including framework agreements, bespoke and industry standard forms of building contracts (JCT, NEC, FIDIC), professional appointments and collateral warranties.
