Bristol’s James Rees, described as ‘a very experienced and knowledgeable solicitor’, heads up the practice from Bristol where he is often instructed on property portfolio work involving landlord and tenants. Sasha Hinton further strengthens these areas, with experience covering a range of lease renewals and dilapidation claims, as well as issues relating to rights of way, rights of light, and title disputes. Vicki Young, who divides her time between Bristol and Southampton, has wide-reaching experience, including handling possession claims and service charge disputes, with Bristol’s Thomas Holdaway focusing on regeneration projects for local authorities alongside renewable energy projects.
