He is a specialist in risk and construction disputes with over 23 years of experience working on high profile building and infrastructure projects across the UK for a mix of main contractors, developers and construction professionals.

While many of Fraser’s cases involve representing clients in construction adjudication or litigation, he also supports clients on ‘live’ projects with real-time advice – with a view to resolving issues and claims before they escalate or (if they do) ensuring clients are best protected should adjudication, litigation or other formal dispute resolution be required.

Fraser is ranked in both Chambers UK and the Legal 500 UK 2025.
