Supporting your ambitions
Ben acted for an architect who was being blamed for alleged defects in a multi-million pound project. The claim involved several parties and Ben and his team had to review extensive documentation in a short period of time and obtain expert input. Ben managed his team and the expert to guide his client through a series of complex allegations to present a detailed response which explained why his client had not been negligent or the cause of the alleged defects. The claim has not been pursued.
What do others say?
Having resolved a complex multi-party construction dispute on very favourable terms, the client said: “Ben gets my prize for absolute star of the year for his sublime handling of a very difficult claim in a way that ensured that my claims manager did not hand in her notice!”. His insured client added: “Your consistency and clarity held it all together.”
