The Property Litigation Team is recognised for its strength and experience. It plays a crucial role in a substantial number of property and commercial transactions on stand-alone matters and in support of other departments. This proactive Team consistently delivers responsive, commercial and sound advice. Most importantly it gets results.

The Team has expanded substantially over the last few years and is now probably the largest specialist property litigation unit in the South of England outside London.

Michael Michell – Counsel - 10 Old Square, Lincoln’s Inn
"Over several years of working with the firm, I have come to know the members of the Property Litigation team well. It has been a great pleasure to work with people who demonstrate such a combination of efficiency, intellect, legal knowledge and good humour. They have demonstrated to me when dealing with client affairs a detailed grasp of the issues, an understanding of the relevant law, a quick appreciation of their client’s commercial interests and the ability to marshal powerfully and without fear all the proper means available to them to further those interests. They are without doubt an outstanding firm for property litigation."
