Sean is dedicated to his work and his clients and behaves professionally and pragmatically in all situations.
Sean is a Senior Associate within the firm's Construction and Infrastructure team. He has provided legal services to various stakeholders involved in the construction industry over the past 12 years, ranging from industry bodies to property developers, building contractors, engineers, certifiers, and homeowners through the provision of both front and back end services.
Sean recognises that a 'one size fits all' approach is not always appropriate and therefore offers solutions tailored to the individual needs of his clients.
His construction litigation experience extends to disputes involving defective construction, payment and other matters in the Supreme, District and Magistrates Courts.
