Scarlett Wheeler

I am a UK construction lawyer with a bilingual twist having grown up in Paris. I specialise in representing clients in contentious and non-contentious matters. I have advised across a broad range of sectors, including retail, office, healthcare, hospitals, hotels, mixed use developments and high-end grade listed residential, for over a decade. I am familiar with being at the forefront of clients' concerns owing to my industry experience, spent both at client side for an international airport and at supplier side, for a fit-out contractor. This puts me in a unique position to not only understand clients' commercial needs, but to also deliver cost-effective solutions. My expertise spans the entire procurement chain, from inception to completion. I advise clients from developers, funders and landlords, to tenants, contractors, consultants and sub-contractors.
