Fraser Askham is well regarded for his practice representing developers and contractors in contentious construction matters. He assists clients with court proceedings concerning residential, commercial and mixed-use developments.

Fraser Askham is straight-talking but also able to change his approach depending on the client, which I think is important for everyone.

Fraser Askham is extremely knowledgeable, reassuring and resilient. He has never provided anything but excellent advice and I highly recommend him.

Fraser Askham is well connected in the construction field and able to draw on a lot of years of experience.
