Brodies LLP

Brodies LLP ‘possesses strength in depth when it comes to construction specialists’, advising clients in the energy, housebuilding and technology sectors under the joint supervision of Louise Shiels and Jane McMonagle. As a key member of the firm’s contentious construction offering, Shiels ’leads by example’, frequently working on high-value court actions and public inquiries. The team’s wealth of disputes experience is highlighted through Manus Quigg, a talented arbitrator, and David Arnott, who has considerable experience with defects claims. Christopher Duff offers ‘clear and practical advice’ to public authorities, healthcare clients and energy corporations. McMonagle spearheads the transactional arm of the team and regularly handles complex building agreements. This side of the team is bolstered by Alistair McLean, who regularly assists with cross-border projects, and Kirsteen Milne, who has built a reputation in handling new engineering contracts (NEC).
