Catherine joined our Construction & Engineering team in Bath from Ashfords in 2018.

Catherine has extensive experience in drafting and negotiating construction documents and advising different project stakeholders on procurement strategies for all types of commercial, large-scale residential and renewable energy development projects, where she has worked with a number of leading contractors, investors and developers.

Work highlights

playing a key role in advising members of EDF Energy’s Hinkley Point C supply chain, including on procurement using NEC contract forms
being previously seconded to the in-house legal team of a major international energy and oil company
advising on various forms of industry contracts, such as NEC, JCT, ICHEME and FIDIC

I’m looking forward to bringing my experience to the team and helping the firm to build our national offering.
