After ten years of working closely alongside public clients in developing and delivering major infrastructure projects and managing the operations and maintenance of infrastructure, first as a consultant and now an attorney, I understand the complexity of project delivery and the challenges that my clients face on a daily basis. I am able to approach the legal aspect of a project within the multifaceted context of policy, engineering, financial, and management that constantly shapes a project throughout its development and delivery.
