Real estate litigation.

I am a partner in the real estate department with over 30 years’ experience in property litigation matters.

I specialise in all aspects of property litigation, vendor/purchaser disputes, rights of light issues, easement disputes etc. but have a soft spot for commercial landlord and tenant disputes and in particular, those involving the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 - It's just one of those acts - it makes me smile.

I like leases – short, long, old or new. I do not discriminate. I have over 30 years’ experience of them and, of course, all other types of property disputes. I give strategic, often innovative, commercial advice.

I have been told I am the funniest lawyer people know – I’m never sure that’s a good thing – although whilst I put up an excellent fight when necessary, I’m keen to resolve the issues between parties to facilitate their often ongoing relationship - settlement with a smile.

I act for a wide range of clients - large corporations to entrepreneurs, both landlords and tenants, those in retail, hospitality, entertainment - those involved in office space and those dealing with industrial sheds. Notable clients are Odeon, Origin Housing, Penguin Random House, YO! Sushi and Beaverbrooks The Jewellers.
