As the ‘strongest specialist construction set in the country’ according to some, Keating Chambers tackles an array of significant domestic and international disputes, with particular expertise in fire safety and cladding related cases. Jonathan Selby KC and Tom Coulson continue to represent the housebuilder in Martlet Homes vs Mulalley & Co, a major post-Grenfell TCC fire safety and cladding case, while Simon Hughes KC and James Frampton are acting for the contractor. Sarah Williams is instructed by Shepherd Construction Limited in another major cladding claim. Other key cases include Piers Stansfield KC, who is representing Cambridge City Council in a High Court action regarding design defects in a major infrastructure project, and Paul Bury acted as counsel for Outotec, defending several liquidated damages, defects, and termination costs claims on a waste-to-energy power plant. Significant team changes include Tom Owen KC taking silk in March 2024.
