Strategic adviser on high-value property disputes

I specialise in complex property disputes for landlords, developers and corporate occupiers. My work spans the retail, financial services, transport, leisure and hospitality sectors. I advise on all aspects of contentious property matters, including litigation, arbitration and mediation.

I trained and qualified at a City firm before spending over two decades at a global practice, where I became a partner in 2003. I joined Shoosmiths in 2018, bringing deep experience in managing national property portfolios and resolving high-value disputes with commercial clarity.

Clients value my ability to lead multi-disciplinary teams and deliver results across transactional, litigation, construction and planning matters. I’m known for being pragmatic, strategic and focussed on outcomes that support long-term business goals.
