Tim Healey

Based in London, Tim has over 20 years' experience working on construction and engineering projects, domestically and internationally, across the real estate, energy and infrastructure sectors. He typically advises clients of the construction industry, often on high-value, large-scale or complex projects.

Tim provides strategic advice and risk analysis and helps clients with a wide variety of construction procurement arrangements, including traditional, design and construct, turnkey, management and collaborative contracting. He works with clients on a wide range of contracts including professional appointments, building contracts, EPC/EPCM/EPIC contracts, FEED and early works agreements, framework/call-off arrangements, supply-only contracts, O&M contracts and LTSAs.

Clients benefit directly from Tim's specialist construction and engineering experience and up-to-the minute market knowledge. He focuses on understanding each client's key commercial requirements in order to help them to select the right strategy, strike the right balance between risk allocation and pricing, and record in contract documents the agreed positions with absolute clarity.

Tim understands the importance of effective project management of legal services, ensuring the pieces fit together and nothing falls between the cracks. His involvement with major projects means he is used to working in cross-functional teams and interfacing and co-ordinating with members across all levels.
