About

Practice Areas

I have been advising on property disputes for 35 years, have been a partner at LS for 20 years and Head of Property for the last 5 years.

As a trusted adviser, I use my experience to steer clients through and around the complexities of property law and, if a dispute is unavoidable, to deliver the best result possible. I advise all types of client (from corporates to HNWIs) on all areas of property ligation (from L&T to development disputes to professional negligence) and on disputes in all forums: courts, tribunals, arbitration/expert determination and ADR (inc. mediation).

As practice Head, I aim to ensure that we deliver a timely, results-oriented and cost-sensitive service to our valued clients on all jobs (from bet-the-farm projects to vanilla transactions to advisory work).
