Tim Claremont

Tim leads the Browne Jacobson construction and engineering team. He has extensive experience of advising in relation to UK and international projects. Whilst the majority of Tim’s work is contentious, ranging from dispute avoidance / project management through to formal disputes, he also undertakes non-contentious work.  

Tim’s experience includes renewable energy facilities (including hydroelectric, biomass, wind, solar and waste to energy), major infrastructure projects (including road widening, waterways and hospitals), large residential and commercial developments (including large retail stores, student accommodation and multi-use buildings), and major government projects.  

Tim has significant expertise in relation to the issues arising out of the Grenfell tragedy, including defending clients against claims arising out of the same and advising major international insurers with regard to relevant coverage issues. He has also written numerous articles and provided seminars on the topic.  

He has also advised regarding payment issues under the Construction Act, claims arising out of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the extent to which the Ebola outbreak amounts to an event of force majeure. He has experience of court proceedings, international arbitration, adjudication, mediation and bespoke dispute resolution procedures.
