Jastinder Samra

Jastinder specialises in the resolution of disputes in the construction and engineering industry and advises clients on how to achieve their commercial objectives when dealing with contentious issues. 

She has recently advised clients on issues relating to liability, causation and quantum in complex construction matters, and in relation to matters involving defects in the works/services rendered during a construction project.  In doing so, she has guided clients through the pre-action process, alternative dispute resolution, adjudication and litigation in the Technology and Construction Court.

Having worked in-house with a diverse range of public and private-sector entities, Jastinder is well aware of the commercial and reputational challenges that clients face, and the speed within which clients must operate to overcome those challenges and indeed, seize opportunities.  As a result, she has developed a keen sense for how lawyers can help: tailoring pragmatic advice, and delivering it in a format that helps those responsible for taking strategic decisions to efficiently do so on the back of that legal advice.

Jastinder is fluent in Punjabi and is a member of the Society of Construction Law. 

Prior to qualifying as a solicitor, she managed a wide-ranging portfolio of insolvency matters at a national insolvency practitioner firm.  She is therefore well versed on matters relevant to securing payment from entities in financial difficulty.
