What the Team is Known For

Ten Old Square is highly regarded for its comprehensive coverage of partnership matters on both the contentious and non-contentious sides. Its members are instructed by solicitors' firms, property developers and financial services clients, among others, and also involve themselves with farming and medical partnership disputes. They regularly appear in court, in arbitration and in mediation, handling all the varied aspects of partnership law one could care to mention, including disputes relating to restrictive covenants, team moves and lateral hires, and partner exits. One interviewee notes: "Ten Old Square houses barristers who provide forensic legal analysis and show excellent attention to detail. They are also highly commercial in their approach." One case the set handled recently is Knipe v Paine, a matter concerning multiple partnerships between the parties and third parties, involving hundreds of UK properties operating as estate agents, financial services firms and wealth

management firms,

Keith Plowman is the senior clerk.
