I joined Tees as a consultant in February 2024, from Penningtons Manches Cooper LLP. I have expert knowledge in the agricultural field, having previously been a Council Member, and later Chairman, of the Agricultural Law Association; and a Rapporteur for the European Agricultural Law Congress.
Tees has always been professional, supportive, and helpful. Their expertise in the agricultural sector is so important. They are always at the end of the phone when you need them.
I originally took a degree in Agriculture but then went on to qualify as a solicitor in 1995. For most of my career, I specialised in property litigation with a particular interest in agricultural law. I appeared before the courts and tribunals for both landlords and tenants in relation to agricultural, commercial and residential property. I am an author of both the Conveyancing Handbook and the Property Practitioners Guide to the First-tier Tribunal.
