Emma HynesEmma specialises in construction and commercial matters.
Before coming to the Bar, Emma had a successful career in business communications and consultancy, working for organisations as diverse as Serco, the Carbon Trust and Microsoft.
Emma has built a strong construction practice at Hardwicke. Her interest in construction stems from having worked extensively in her previous career with engineers, built environment experts and architects. This experience gives her a firm grasp of the technical issues that arise in construction projects, and a detailed understanding of how a team interacts.
Emma is currently instructed as junior counsel to the Grenfell Tower Inquiry. She accepts instructions in Hardwicke’s Fixed Fee Adjudication Scheme.
Before changing career, Emma combined her work with fencing at an international level. She represented Australia in five world championships and has won two Commonwealth medals.

George EyreGeorge has a broad commercial and construction practice. He is instructed both as sole counsel and as part of a team in matters across Hardwicke’s construction, commercial and insurance specialisms. He is currently instructed as junior counsel to the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, working specifically on construction-related matters.
George is frequently instructed in High Court and the County Court matters, from advising in embryonic claims and assisting with pre-action correspondence to drafting pleadings and appearing at interlocutory hearings and trial.
George is also experienced in assisting with the preparation and conduct of adjudication matters. His notable recent adjudication instructions have included a professional negligence claim arising out of the alleged negligent specification of stone for use in a luxury multi-property development in South London and a multi-million pound claim arising from the development of student property in the midlands.
Before undertaking pupillage and accepting tenancy at Hardwicke, George obtained a First-Class degree in History from the University of Oxford and studied the GDL and BPTC at City University London.
