Drafting Contracts
I help my clients draft their suite of contracts and related documentation for their projects (either bespoke or based on standard-form construction contracts such as SIA, REDAS, PSSCOC, FIDIC, JCT, NEC etc.) as well as reviewing of tender bids and negotiations to close-out.
Building and Construction Claims
I help my clients handle all of their legal issues throughout the project (e.g., claims for outstanding payment, additional costs, losses and expenses, omissions, variations, delay and/or disruption issues such as extensions of time and prolongation costs, suspension, acceleration, inspection and quality assurance, defects, insurance, indemnities, termination, SOP Act payment claim / payment response / adjudication procedures, final account closure, general business law queries etc.).
Civil Litigation
I help my clients resolve their disagreements with their contractual counterparties if there are any disputes that arise (e.g., through arbitration, litigation, adjudication or other alternative means of dispute resolution such as mediation, expert determination or neutral evaluation).

Daniel was quick to grasp my specific legal matter and great at providing practical solutions. Friendly and personable throughout. Thank you for your support.
Daniel was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable when I approached him about my renovation disputes. He patiently listened to my case, swiftly grasped my concerns, and offered excellent suggestions and possible solutions in no time. Daniel is sharp, empathetic, and provides the kind of support many lawyers lack these days. Thank you for your help, Daniel!
