Experience

I am a solicitor in the Real Estate Disputes department acting for commercial, charity and private clients advising on a wide range of both commercial and residential property related disputes.

I have extensive experience in dispute resolution advising on general commercial disputes as well as property disputes.

I like to work with clients to deliver cost effective solutions to problems and achieve early resolution of disputes where possible. I like to think of creative solutions to clients problems and have experience in advising on settlement strategy and tactics.

I also have experience in third party funding and after the event insurance having worked a litigation funder. This means that I am able to look at the bigger picture and consider and discuss with clients the commercial and financial aspects of bringing any claim.

I acted for large property developers to advise on terminating both commercial and residential tenancies ahead of development.
I represented an industrial real estate developer against The Royal Bank of Scotland in a complex banking dispute relating to its now defunct Global Restructuring Group.
I also represented a property developer in a complex professional negligence dispute against its former solicitors for failing to discharge a freezing injunction made against him, allowing one of his properties to be transferred to the other party to the claim and failing to advise properly on his disclosure obligations.
I made a successful application to stay a consent order for payment of legal costs to a firm pending the outcome of professional negligence proceedings.
I represented a property developer in a claim against a local council for breach of contract and misfeasance in public office for wrongfully terminating a property development scheme.
I represented a high-net worth individual in a multi-handed fraud claim concerning a sale of classic vehicles. The proceedings were initiated by obtaining a freezing injunction against 3 Defendants’ assets.
