Ending a commercial lease – how serving incorrectly can cost
Bringing a commercial lease to an end should be straightforward. In practice, it is one of the most common areas
Biography
I am an Associate specialising in Property Litigation, advising both commercial and residential landlords, tenants and agricultural landowners on a broad range of contentious real estate matters.
My work covers both commercial and residential real estate disputes, including the following:
• Commercial lease renewals;
• Break notices;
• Dilapidations;
• Service charge disputes;
• Forfeiture and possession claims;
• Rent arrears; and
• disputes under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954.
I enjoy working with clients to understand their commercial objectives, and my aim is to guide them through disputes efficiently whilst keeping practical considerations, cost, and risk firmly in mind.
Expertise
The Tees Law commercial litigation team continues to provide a level of service akin to the larger London practices, but do so on a more affable, client-focused footing.
