The ‘small but absolutely excellent’ property litigation practice at Estate Legal is well known in the market for its handling of Pubs Code matters, while additional areas of strength include complex lease renewals, rights of light cases, and break notices. Bonnie Martin and Amy Rudrum, who co-steer the practice, are described as ’leaders in their field.’ Martin’s varied case load currently includes several high-value rights of light cases, while Rudrum is notably the only commercial property litigator on the British Institute of Innkeepers’ panel of solicitors. Abbie Mundell is also recommended. David Benjamin joined from Foot Anstey in September 2023.
