I am a property dispute resolution lawyer advising landowners, landlords and tenants across a range of sectors. I act for NHS bodies, commercial developers, local authorities and registered providers of social housing. I also have experience on telecoms matters. At any one time I might be advising clients on issues as diverse as business lease renewals, easement and boundary disputes, adverse possession, squatters, drainage/sewage, break notices and dilapidations.
My work regularly involves providing initial risk management advice, in an effort to help clients resolve potential disputes at an early stage, as well as steering clients toward alternative dispute resolution where appropriate. I also handle County Court litigation.
