Alice McDonnell
Managing associate
Alice specialises in construction and engineering disputes and advisory work. She works in both domestic and international contexts and has experience working for a broad range of clients on large and complex disputes in international arbitration (ICC and UNCITRAL) and in domestic arbitrations, litigation, adjudications, expert determinations, mediations, advisory and dispute avoidance.
Alice has over 10 years’ experience in dispute resolution predominantly focussed on the construction, engineering and infrastructure industries.
Alice has also previously worked in third party legal funding, an experience which has given her a unique perspective on the bigger picture of case management and understanding of client objectives, assisting her to think incisively about the merits, economics and enforcement of cases.
Alice’s experience in contentious construction law and general commercial disputes is spread between the UK, Australia and in international disputes. She has worked with an impressive range of clients including international Governments, publicly listed and private national companies and international corporate groups.
In terms of construction disputes lawyers, Alice is by far one of the best I have worked with. Not only is she technically and commercially astute, but she is able to quickly grasp the financial and practical implications and provide various solutions to the challenges we face. Whilst supporting our business on secondment, despite being thrown in the deep end, Alice managed to get on top of quite complex issues and provide a range of options for consideration whilst building strong relationships and therefore is highly considered by the business
