Dispute Resolution
- Bishop's Stortford
Biography
I qualified as a solicitor in the dispute resolution and litigation department in November 2025, and I specialise in property and construction disputes at our Bishop’s Stortford office. I work on a variety of real estate and construction matters, acting for both landlords and tenants and claimants and defendants.
I have a strong expertise in residential possession work, and I regularly handle complex and time-sensitive claims, working closely with agents and other industry experts to achieve practical solutions.
Alongside property and construction disputes, I also deal with debt recovery and general commercial claims, arising from breach of contract and defective works offering efficient strategies tailored to clients’ commercial priorities. I work with a large range of clients including both private and commercial landlords, tenants and homeowners as well as freeholders and leaseholders.
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.
