Leading construction and energy lawyer Lindy Patterson QC is to join 39 Essex Chambers as a door tenant.

Lindy joins Chambers from CMS where she was a partner. During a career spanning 25 years, she has specialised in construction and energy-related disputes and has built a reputation both domestically and internationally for her work both as counsel and arbitrator.

At 39 Essex Chambers Lindy will practise as arbitrator, adjudicator and dispute board member, focusing on the construction and engineering and energy sectors both in the UK and abroad.

Lindy has extensive experience of representing clients in LCIA; ICC and LMAA arbitrations as well as non-institutional arbitrations, including UNCITRAL, in both civil and common law jurisdictions and has a wealth of knowledge in international jurisdictions.

Lindy was the first woman to be appointed to the International FIDIC President’s list of adjudicators in 2012. She is a member of the London Court of International Arbitration. She sits on the Arbitral Appointments Committee of the Scottish Arbitration Centre and is an inaugural member.
