Anna Wood

I’m a Partner in Michelmores’ Construction & Engineering team. I work with developers, contractors and consultants to help deliver exciting and often complex new projects. I also specialise in dispute resolution, advising clients on the legal and commercial strengths and weaknesses of their position so that they are best placed to achieve the outcome that is right for them.

My clients and their projects are based all over England and Wales, but I have a strong connection with Gloucestershire and the South West.

I have worked with many of my clients and referrers for over a decade but still enjoy forging new relationships with both private individuals and representatives of organisations of all sizes.

I am perhaps best known for being able to react quickly to urgent situations, whether that be a speedy review of a building contract or letter of intent, or responding to a threat of imminent legal action. I love the adrenaline that this urgency brings and work hard to quickly get to grips with the key legal and commercial issues and then bring calm to the situation for my client.

I joined Michelmores in January 2022 having spent over a decade developing my practice at a Gloucestershire-based firm. I was drawn to Michelmores because of its culture of collaboration and aiming to make the world a better place through our work. It is an exciting place to work and I believe that our clients truly benefit from this positivity.

I am also proud to sit on the Board of Constructing Excellence South West. This role really helps me to keep abreast of the issues and challenges faced by the sector which in turn means I am better able to give truly commercial advice.
