What can I do for you

Iain specialises in construction law, advising clients on all aspects of project procurement, design and construction, including JCT, NEC, other standard form, and bespoke contracts. His expertise includes acting for owners, developers, contractors, professional consultants, investors, and funders, whether on construction contracts or related real estate and finance deals.

What do others say

“Iain is a thorough and conscientious colleague you can depend on.”

Supporting your ambitions

The contracts required to develop a new construction project are necessary to deliver the completed project, but they are not the parties’ prime objective. Iain understands that his clients’ focus is on their end goal and he tailors his advice to suit. Working with a client, Iain helps meet a project’s objectives, identifying legal risks early and addressing those risks to maximise the benefit of advice given. Iain has worked in solicitors’ firms, small start-ups and large corporates and he combines his experience with his clients’ to address key legal risks and opportunities together.

What else should you know?

Iain set up Practical Law Construction, now part of Thomson Reuters, working with a team from the ground up to create specialist high-quality legal know-how and documents used and relied on ever since.

What our clients say about us

“I think Mills & Reeve are a wonderful firm. The support they have provided to us in a really difficult area has been brilliant, collaborative and commercially minded. The team were absolutely wonderful and a joy to work with. Amazing advice and support and a real collaborative effort with us. I can't thank them enough for getting us through some really tough times and doing so with an amazing can-do attitude.”

“They are friendly, fast, always available and always on top of the game. I tend to judge my legal team against the other side's legal team and never doubt Mills & Reeve is the better of the two.”

“All interactions have been very clear. Responses to questions have always been very swift and unambiguous. Our company, and my family, have used various services in Mills & Reeve with the same level of satisfaction.”

“I value the fact that Mills & Reeve are recognised as a good place to work in the UK Best Companies survey. This aligns with the values of our business and means that Mills & Reeve can share what is required to achieve this status with our business.”
