Warren Berwick
Director
Warren is a construction and engineering law specialist with over 20 years’ experience in the construction sector.
Warren manages UK and international disputes in the Courts, arbitration and adjudication. Warren’s thoroughness enables him to identify the key issues quickly. From the beginning of a dispute, he is always thinking about the exit strategy. He is always looking to achieve the right result for his client at the earliest stage.
Warren also advises in respect of domestic and international transactions. This may be drafting a complex bespoke contract, amending a standard form contract, or reviewing and commenting on project documents. Warren’s approach is to help clients understand the risks involved in a project and then seek to allocate those risks appropriately between the parties. If risk allocation is clear in the contract documents, any later disputes are often easier to manage and resolve.
Phil Berwick
Tax Consultant
Phil is a tax investigations specialist. A former tax inspector, he has nearly 30 years’ experience of handling investigations. Phil acts for a wide range of clients, individuals and businesses, facing scrutiny from HMRC.

Phil takes a practical approach to HMRC investigations. Combined with his detailed knowledge of the Contractual Disclosure Facility (HMRC’s civil procedure for the investigation of suspected fraud) and the relevant law, he will guide you through the various stages.
