Profile

Marion is experienced as counsel, representing and advising national and international clients in a wide range of business sectors, including construction, energy, engineering, infrastructure, insurance, media and transport matters. She is recognised for her prowess in adjudications, Technology and Construction Court (TCC) proceedings and international arbitration. She is well known for her ability to establish excellent working relationships with clients, experts and the legal team. Her in-depth advocacy experience in document-heavy cases includes disputes in which the relevant law is not English law.

She is regularly appointed as an adjudicator and as an arbitrator (sole, party and president) handling matters across a wide range of industry sectors, legal issues and geographical regions.

Marion is recognised as a leading lawyer in many of the legal directories including, The Legal 500 2024 and Chambers and Partners 2024 for Construction, The Legal 500 Middle East 2024 for Construction, and The Legal 500 2024 for Energy and Professional Negligence.

Marion’s expertise and experience in international dispute resolution is reflected by her present roles including representing the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators as Trustee (since 2016) and Chair of the Trustee Board (2023), and the Bar of England and Wales as a Vice Chair of the Bar Council’s International Committee.

Marion is also a Professional Fellow at Aston University, contributes to various publications and is in demand as a speaker at international arbitration and dispute resolution conferences worldwide.
