Career

Joanna is Head of the Property Litigation department at Edwin Coe.

She deals with all types of property disputes including joint venture and conveyancing disputes, trespass, party wall and developer claims, including those for building defects and against new build warranty insurers, professional negligence and rectification claims, the full range of landlord and tenant disputes encompassing breaches of covenant, forfeiture, insolvency, rent arrears, possession and service charge issues, business lease renewals and dilapidations claims. She advises on commercial, residential and mixed use schemes. Before joining Edwin Coe in 2000, Joanna was a partner in a niche litigation practice called Maislish & Co which specialised in high-profile and heavyweight general commercial disputes. She has acted in company and partnership disputes, construction claims, libel, professional negligence and general contract claims. She therefore has an impressive breadth of experience to draw upon when advising property clients on their matters.

Whilst being assertive and tenacious, Joanna understands that the primary objective of a property client is usually to achieve the most commercially acceptable outcome given the practical requirements of their business and also the risks of litigation. This means that dispute avoidance is an important factor in initial advice. Where that does not resolve a dispute, then Joanna has considerable experience in alternative dispute resolution processes such as mediation, PACT, single expert determination and arbitration.

Clients range from substantial, high-profile PLC’s to small and medium sized businesses, private clients, charities and administrators of estates, coming from all areas of business and walks of life, including the media, publishing, property and construction, multiple national retailers, local authorities, individual property investors and all types of landlord and tenant.
