Other work undertaken includes:

Professional negligence typically in the areas of construction, conveyancing, valuation, survey and other property related negligence issues.

Negligent financial advice:

General commercial and insolvency related litigation – prior to narrowing my focus to property disputes, I spent over ten years as a general commercial and insolvency litigator including contractual, corporate and commercial disputes and despite the property focus continue to undertake such work. I recently successfully concluded a high court trial of a shareholder dispute.

I assess each case to give thorough advice on the legal merits but crucially combine this with a strategy to fulfill my client’s objectives, approach to risk and financial strength. I have contacts which I can use to help facilitate alternative ways of funding cases where appropriate.

Professional Memberships

I am an active member of the Property Litigation Association and Southampton Property Association for whom I and my team have regularly presented seminars.
