About

Practice Areas
Ross appears regularly in both the Chancery Division and the Administrative Court.
She has considerable experience of public inquiries, judicial reviews and statutory appeals.
Her practice is now primarily focused on real property disputes, many concerned with claims to public rights.
Ross is well known for her expertise in the law of highways, common land, town and village greens, and other kinds of public access rights “top of the pile when it comes to rights of way and village greens work” - Chambers UK Bar.
She has acquired an understanding of the issues from all viewpoints, having acted for local authorities, landowners, developers, members of the public, and interested organisations such as The Ramblers’ Association. Conducting public inquiries into town or village green registration applications as an inspector has given her an additional perspective.
Her litigation experience in these fields has been divided between private law actions commenced in the Chancery Division and public law claims launched in the Administrative Court.
Ross’s practice also encompasses all aspects of real property law, such as restrictive covenants and boundary disputes “She is an extremely intellectually able person, who has a good grasp of the more rarefied aspects of land law and rights of way” Chambers UK Bar.
