Fieldfisher is regularly turned to by the real estate, tech, energy, and finance sectors on a diverse set of mandates, with the group demonstrating particular high activity on development-related work, overseeing overage, telecoms, and professional negligence work. Team lead Antony Phillips draws from his extensive experience in property litigation to chiefly advise on dilapidations and secured lending recoveries work. Jamie Mangan has experience extending to dilapidations, recovery of arrears, and business lease renewals, while qualified barrister Laura West is a go-to contact for advice relating to the Telecoms Code, handling renewals, surveys, and terminations. The team also benefits from Faye Hyland‘s experience in High Court litigation, particularly acting on development-related matters.
