Philip is a leading expert in the area of procurement, competition, trade and construction law.
Philip advises clients in relation to the largest public utilities projects in the country. His extensive PPP experience includes roads, waste, waste water and electricity PPP projects where he acts for both public and private bodies.
As an expert in European and Irish competition law, Philip has used his specialist knowledge and his expertise as a litigator in a variety of sectors including the construction, health, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications, transport and energy sectors.
Philip has a well-established background in energy law and telecommunications regulation from his previous role as a legal advisor in the petroleum industry. He also worked as a consultant to a multinational enterprise on the application of EU and international law. Philip is thus ideally positioned to advise clients in sectoral-specific regulatory matters.
