Litigator known for shrewd advice and strategic clarity
I advise developers, investors, corporate occupiers and landlords on a wide range of contentious property issues. My work includes possession claims, landlord consents, break notices, rent reviews and business tenancy renewals. I also advise on insolvency-related property matters and disputes involving licensed premises.
With over 30 years’ experience in property litigation, I’ve worked at Wragge & Co and Clarke Willmott before joining Shoosmiths in 2012. I focus on early-stage advice to prevent disputes escalating, and regularly represent clients in mediations and without prejudice meetings. Recent projects include serving over 80 price notices for a major residential development and advising on a multi-million pound dilapidations claim.
I’m a member of the Property Litigation Association, an ADR Group qualified mediator and recognised by Legal 500 as a Leading Individual. Clients value my tactful, strategic approach and ability to resolve complex issues with clarity.
