Gavin is a partner and leads our construction team in Wales, which supports private and public sector clients through every stage of a project's lifecycle, from bid and procurement to contract formation and through to dispute avoidance and resolution.
Recognised as a ‘Rising Star’ and described as a 'name to note' in The Legal 500, Gavin specialises in construction dispute avoidance and resolution, and supports the response of construction product manufacturers, contractors, and construction professionals to the new regulatory regime introduced by the Building Safety Act.
Acting for household name SME and PLC construction product manufacturers, Tier 1 and regional contractors / sub-contractors, and construction professionals, Gavin draws on his appreciation of the commercial drivers of all parties involved in a construction project to provide the pragmatic and solution-focused advice which his clients value, both downstream and upstream. His excellent technical understanding of construction products and projects enables him to engage with personnel with regards the detail of disputes in a practical way, and has been recognised through his appointment to the London board of the Federation of Master Builders.
Gavin works with organisations in the construction and manufacturing sectors to assist with internal knowledge management in relation to the new regulatory regime introduced by the Building Safety Act, to assess the risk profile for each organisation, personnel and any associated organisations, and to develop resources and strategies for management of the associated risk. Gavin regularly presents to a range of stakeholders on the Act, including the Consortium of Local Authorities in Wales, the Federation of Master Builders, and the Metal Cladding and Roofing Manufacturer’s Association.
For his dispute avoidance and resolution work, Gavin is noted by the Legal 500 as ‘gaining a strong reputation in the field’.
