Paul leads the Property Litigation Team at Freeths, which is made up of around 40 lawyers. He has extensive experience in dealing with all Property Litigation issues, including contested and uncontested lease renewals, dilapidations claims, break clause issues, service charge disputes and easement and covenant matters.
Paul ensures that he and his team understand their clients’ specific business needs, so that they do not simply offer the client a list of legal options, but a practical solution tailored to the client’s specific business requirements. He always has a focus on the expense, time and risk of litigation and does not “get lost” in “interesting” legal points with no commercial impact.
Paul is a member of the Property Litigation Association (“PLA”) and sits on the sub-committee of the PLA in the Midlands.
Paul has a passion for travelling and loves doing just that with his wife and three children. He also loves food and wine and has a passion for sport, particularly football, cricket and rugby union.
Paul was shortlisted for Partner of the Year' at the Nottinghamshire Law Society Annual Awards in 2023.
