Jamil is a senior associate in the construction advisory and dispute resolution team. He has experience in a broad range of construction and dispute resolution matters and works with a range of clients including private individuals, institutional investors, national and regional developers, international developers, local authorities and universities.
Jamil has particular expertise in multi-party Technology and Construction Court litigation spanning pre-action, pleadings, disclosure, evidential and pre-trial stages, as well as significant experience in adjudication, mediation and pre-action matters. He has a strong grounding in many construction disputes including defects, payment, delay, professional negligence, insurance and party wall matters.

I am a construction advisory and dispute resolution lawyer with a determination to achieve the best results for clients. I enjoy matters that are intellectually stimulating as well as those with a human and commercial element where I seek to deliver pragmatism and reassurance.

He is a confident public speaker who has delivered presentations for clients and the firm.
