Biography
I have been an Associate at Tees since 2019 and I deal with all aspects of property litigation.
I qualified in 1996 and have worked exclusively in dispute resolution since. I specialise in property litigation and my practise encompasses:
- Commercial property: contested lease renewals, dilapidations, and service charge disputes.
- Residential landlord and tenant.
- Real property including adverse possession; restrictive covenants and easements.
- Boundary disputes.
- Disputes arising from the co-ownership of property.
- Professional negligence arising from property transactions including actions against solicitors and surveyors.
In addition to my work at Tees, I am a non-executive director for Gravesham Friendly which is a mutual insurer.
