Overview

Gurbinder focuses on resolving contentious construction and infrastructure disputes through arbitration, adjudication, litigation or ADR. He typically acts for Employers and main Contractors in a wide range of sectors and disputes relating to payment, claims for variations, extensions of time, defects and professional negligence.

Gurbinder is also experienced in acting as ‘project counsel’ on live construction and engineering projects either domestically or internationally, assisting clients in managing claims and avoiding disputes. Legal 500 UK notes that Gurbinder is “an adjudication specialist”, “has an encyclopaedic knowledge of construction law” and “never loses focus of the client’s commercial objectives”. Chambers UK reports that “Gurbinder’s ability to identify the key points, combined with his understanding of commercial pressures, invariably gets his clients a successful outcome to their disputes” and that he is “highly commercial, responsive and extremely knowledgeable in his field”.

Gurbinder is based in Mantle Law’s London office.
