Bio
Colin D Rutherford
Gerhardt was seconded to the internal legal team working on the major disputes on a Finnish nuclear power plant at the time I was Deputy Contract Manager with Areva.We therefore had a considerable amount of interface between the contractual and legal sides of the Dispute Team and I found Gerhardt very willing to learn new aspects of Contract management and dispute resolution with a keen eye for detail and a very willing listener. He was also always people and generally good to talk to / work with.
