Having worked for a number of oil and gas organisations, I have interfaced with a number of lawyers. Many good and some not so good. One who stood out with his ability to listen and understand the issues and requirements and propose a solution was David Winch. David took the time to listen to what was required by the business and help construct a solution that benefited all, not just a legal position, but an acceptable position for the overall business.

David is intelligent, logical, high performing and professional. On the project he provided practical legal advice, meticulous contract drafting, complex variations, legal interpretation and support to the contracts team to guide contract negotiations to a successful, productive conclusion. David constantly demonstrated the highest levels of integrity and trustworthiness, which is always respected when working on a busy, dynamic project.
