“I have worked with Jason in various capacities, most notably during his tenure as a General Manager and Managing Director within the Structural, Mechanical, and Piping construction and industrial sectors. What sets him apart as a consultant is that he doesn’t just understand the theory—he understands the commercial consequences of every decision made on a complex, live project.

Having partnered with him on a track record of successful disputes and settlement agreements, I’ve seen him leverage his Wits mechanical engineering background to provide technical precision that is often missing in legal proceedings. He is a true specialist in FIDIC and NEC agreements, with the rare ability to navigate these contracts from both a technical and commercial-legal perspective.

Jason brings the ‘boots on the ground’ credibility of someone who has managed the full project lifecycle, from tender through to arbitration. For any legal team, he offers the invaluable advantage of a consultant who has actually sat in the executive ‘hot seat’ and knows how to deliver clear, credible, and decisive outcomes.”
