Appointed a Managing Director in the firm’s Construction Advisory practice, Philip Duggan brings over 35 years of experience in the construction and engineering industries to the firm.

A quantity surveyor by background, Duggan has experience across the forensic life-cycle, focusing on the preparation and valuation of variations, claims for prolongation disruption and acceleration, disputed accounts, and counterclaims and damages.
