Nik Oldham

Partner @Mills & Reeve

Over the last thirty years, I have dealt with claims against most professionals. Since 1995, I have dealt exclusively with claims against construction professionals, including surveyors and valuers. I have substantial experience of court proceedings, arbitration proceedings, adjudication and ADR.
