About me
Dipen Shah is a Solicitor of England and Wales and an internationally qualified construction lawyer with over 23 years of experience advising on complex construction disputes, contracts, and delay claims across India.
He holds dual legal qualifications — as a Solicitor admitted in England and Wales, and as an advocate practising under Indian law — giving him a rare cross-jurisdictional perspective that is highly valued by international contractors, employers, consultants, and legal teams operating across multiple legal systems.
Over his 23-year career, Dipen has advised on multimillion-dollar construction and engineering projects, specialising in:
- Construction contract risk allocation and drafting (JCT, NEC, FIDIC Yellow Book, Silver Book, and bespoke forms)
- Delay analysis methodologies and concurrent delay forensics
- Liquidated damages, extension of time, and loss and expense claims
- Construction disputes before the Technology and Construction Court (TCC), arbitration tribunals, and adjudication panels
- Critical path analysis and programme-based delay forensics
Dipen has worked with quantity surveyors, project managers, engineers, in-house counsel, and construction lawyers to help them understand, analyse, and resolve delay and contractual disputes with confidence.
As an educator, Dipen brings real-world case experience into the classroom. His courses are designed to bridge the gap between legal theory and practical application — enabling construction professionals to read contracts critically, identify legal risks early, and approach delay claims with a structured, evidence-based methodology.
His flagship course, How to Analyse Concurrent Delay, is the most comprehensive practical training available on concurrent delay forensics — built directly from his experience advising on live disputes and instructing expert witnesses in TCC proceedings.
Whether you are a construction lawyer seeking to deepen your technical knowledge, a QS or project manager wanting to understand the legal framework behind delay claims, or an engineer looking to protect your client's contractual position — Dipen's courses deliver the practical skills and legal insight you need.
With 23 years of hands-on legal practice and a passion for making construction law accessible, Dipen Shah is your trusted guide through one of the most technically demanding areas of commercial law.
