Key skills

  • I can help commercial tenants plan their exit strategies from leases, and help commercial landlords hold their tenants to their obligations under leases.
  • I can assist in advising both landlords and tenants in relation to any understanding their rights and obligations in both commercial and residential leases.
  • I also advise on disputes arising from other matters arising from land, such as adverse possession claims and disputes arising from agreements relating to property, such as options, equalisation and promotion agreements.

Experience highlights

  • I have recently secured a six-figure settlement for a client in an adverse possession claim and have successfully concluded a long-running dispute over the status of a land equalisation agreement over some development land.
