Anne is a senior associate in the Infrastructure, Construction and Energy Disputes Group that forms part of our global Energy, Projects and Construction practice. 

Anne works with employers and contractors to resolve disputes across the infrastructure and construction sectors. Anne has advised a number of clients in relation to complex construction disputes, as well as high-profile infrastructure projects in the UK.

Anne also works with clients to avoid formal dispute mechanisms, through mediation or structured negotiation and engages with clients to review existing contractual arrangements, evaluate risk and reassess working practices to help avoid disputes with suppliers, contractors or sub-contractors.

Anne has recently been involved in a £100million multi-party litigation including coordinating between a team of barristers, a team of experts and CMS colleagues throughout the UK to ensure the best outcome for the client.
