James Findlay KC, who shares dual tenancy with English set Cornerstone Barristers, is ’well respected‘ in the planning law space, and Alasdair Burnet KC is ’attuned to the challenges that developers and local authorities face and gives measured, realistic advice‘. At the junior end of the stable, Graham Dunlop has solid experience in advising on construction disputes and a broad range of property law issues. Brian Crook has an established track record in handling contested property rights, real burdens, landlord and tenant issues and liferents, among other areas. In recent instructions for the team, Kenneth Young appeared before the Upper Tribunal in a successful appeal against a decision that a heritable creditor was responsible for the landlord’s repairing obligations in a tenanted flat after taking a decree of possession.
