Residential leasehold expert with 15 years’ litigation experience

I’m a Legal Director in Shoosmiths’ Real Estate Litigation team, leading our Long Leasehold Team from the Manchester office. I specialise in residential management and long leasehold issues, including service charge recovery, section 20 consultations, right to manage claims, rights of first refusal, enfranchisement and lease extensions.

With over 15 years’ experience, I have built a reputation for clear, practical advice and strategic thinking. I work with pension funds, public and private companies, registered providers, property managers and public bodies, helping them navigate complex disputes and regulatory change.

I’m a regular speaker at industry seminars and deliver tailored training to clients. I’m committed to making leasehold law accessible and helping clients stay ahead of reform and risk.
