Michael Chulu

Michael's practice focuses on the resolution of complex and high value disputes, including those relating to defects in design and construction, professional liability, delay, variations, loss and expense, disruption and final account issues. He assists clients during the course of a project when disputes arise and by way of formal disputes in the major forums of dispute resolution, including mediation, adjudication and litigation in the Technology and Construction Court. 

Michael's recent experience includes representing a London Borough Local Authority in a multi-million, multi-party dispute relating to serious fire safety, structural, architectural and MEPH defects at a residential block with over 40 apartments. This was one of the first claims involving Building Liability Orders under the new Building Safety Act 2022 regime. Michael has also recently advised an NHS Trust in connection with complex contractual provisions around delays, loss and expense and sectional completion under an NEC3 Engineering and Construction Contract for the provision of a new Inpatient Ward at an existing Hospital.
