Melissa specialises in construction law. Her experience spans litigation, arbitration, adjudication, mediation and dispute board proceedings. Her recent cases have ranged from international energy and infrastructure projects to high-value, legally complex domestic work. She has a wide-ranging international practice: she has worked on disputes involving projects in Africa, the Middle East, Asia Pacific, the Caribbean, South America and mainland Europe. She frequently appears as sole counsel, against much more senior counsel, and has been led by some of the most highly-regarded construction silks in the country.
