I joined Lawrence Stephens in March 2023 as a Senior Associate in the Dispute Resolution department. I was promoted to my current role as a Director and Head of Real Estate Disputes in August 2024.
I deal with a wide range of matters including but not limited to, secured recoveries, party wall and developer claims, trespass, rights to light claims, professional negligence, and all landlord tenant matters relating to breaches of covenant, possession, forfeiture, insolvency, debt recovery, contested lease renewals and dilapidation claims.
I have experience of taking matters to trial in the High Court and have also been involved in a number of successful appeals before the Court of Appeal.
My clients include lenders, investors, commercial landlords, local authorities, and insolvency practitioners.
I am married with three boys and live in South West London. Outside of work my interests include football, golf and going out with family and friends.
