He has advised on a spectrum of construction and engineering-related issues including pre-bid agreements, performance bonds, parent company guarantees, collateral warranties and sub-contract / supply agreements. As a lawyer, Royston has undertaken secondments with two international construction contractors where he advised on procurement issues, tender proposals and amendments to a range of stand form building contracts.

Royston also has extensive dispute resolution experience including advising on extensions of time, disruption, valuation / termination issues and defective design and workmanship.
