I am a Property Litigation partner. I am regularly instructed in land and property-based disputes, and to deal with estate management issues. This includes: business tenancy renewals; landlord and tenant disputes relating to service charge, rent review, dilapidations and requests for consent; and land disputes in respect of restrictive covenants, easements, trespass and claims for possession.
I have particular experience of working with LPA receivers and for banks/secured lenders, and I frequently assist my property colleagues in advising on large transactions which require specialist litigation input. These are areas of work which I particularly enjoy.
I have found our primary contact, James Teagle, to be outstandingly helpful on all of the occasions we have interacted. James is careful to understand the problem and responsive to requests for assistance. I can and do recommend him unreservedly.
In addition, I am an active member of the Property Litigation Association; In 2023 I chaired its Committee covering the North of England and I now sit on the National Education and Training Committee.
I have worked with James Teagle for a number of years and find him one of the best property litigation partners in the business. He is one of the brightest, most hard-working and resilient, and most affable lawyers around – a real pleasure to work with and a privilege to have as someone fighting your corner.
