I'm a Senior Associate in the Real Estate Litigation team.  I specialise in all aspects of commercial property disputes such as contractual disputes, service charge disputes, commercial arrears recovery, water ingress disputes, dilapidations, terminations and consents.

I act on behalf of clients at the onset of litigation, thereby providing advice in terms of mitigation, through to negotiated settlements and court proceedings. I aim to provide succinct, strategic advice whilst focusing on clients' commercial objectives.

My experience includes:

• defending and settling multi-million pound dilapidations claims on behalf of a high street retail occupier.

• providing strategic advice to a client regarding opposed lease renewals in relation to its development strategy.

• successfully settling a water ingress dispute which resulted in the client being compensated for substantial losses it had suffered.

• acting on behalf of retail and hospitality clients in relation to all aspects of commercial property disputes across their England and Wales portfolios.
• defending hundreds of court proceedings on behalf of major UK retail occupiers in relation to their response to the Covid-19 pandemic. This included the Lillywhites litigation and the High Court case of AEW UK Reit PLC -v- Sportsdirect.com Retail Limited [2021] EWHC 1013 (QB) which involved defences such as frustration, rent suspension and implied terms.

Clients describe my advice as  "sound and consistent"  and I'm a  "trusted advisor"  for many of the firm's clients.
