John Shenton is Consultancy Contract Specialist at Khatib & Alami CEC. This follows an exhaustive few years handling a mix of contentious and non-contentious work arising from construction for the energy sector, the management of claims for a high volume of fast-track fit-out contracts, and the incorporation in 2011 of an offshore consultancy - as sole proprietor - that evolved into a partnership that manages the process groups for an international portfolio of projects that incorporate complex design and engineering works. Highlights include the National Stadium in Addis Ababa.
