I specialise in advising clients on a wide range of property-related disputes, including boundary and neighbour disputes, as well as those involving professional negligence in property acquisition, landowners, property developers, landlord and tenant matters. My experience also encompasses residential property transactions and leasehold enfranchisement.
Based in our Cotswolds office, I assist both local and national clients in resolving their property-related disputes. Notable recent work includes advising a Hong Kong client on the acquisition of a portfolio of HMO properties in the Midlands, resolving several title discrepancies and HMO obstructions during the process. I have also assisted numerous private and commercial landlords in the Cotswolds, Oxford, and London with sensitive tenant disputes, including dilapidations, serious breaches of agreement, and rent arrears. In 2023, I was part of the legal team involved in a highly complex and high-value boundary dispute in Oxford, which proceeded to a five-day trial with instructed King’s Counsel.
I understand that my clients are often very busy individuals, whether they are farmers, landowners, commercial landlords, business owners, or entrepreneurs. I pride myself on taking ownership of their legal matters, allowing them to focus on their other priorities. This approach enables me to resolve disputes pragmatically and efficiently, allowing my clients to continue to focus on what matters most to them.
Outside of work, I enjoy travelling, particularly to Norway and Scandinavia, and spending quality time with my wife, young daughter, and our beloved terrier, Ralph.
