A partner in the real estate team, I specialise in all aspects of property dispute resolution as well as contentious construction matters. The varied nature of what I do means that every day poses different challenges so life is never boring.
When faced with problems I always try to put myself in my clients’ shoes and also those of any other parties to identify what is important to each side. That helps to identify solutions that work in legal terms and where necessary helps to maintain commercial relationships.
A client who was embarking on a career in the legal profession said: “As your client the quality and service I have experienced has been an inspiration”…and I didn’t have to pay him!
