Professional background

Professional background

I deal with a broad range of commercial property issues, including business lease renewals, dilapidations, break notices, rent reviews, recovery of arrears or tenant insolvency, as well as real property disputes such as overage disputes, restrictive covenants, easements and other development-related issues and site protection injunctions.

I act for various clients from developers to investors, administrators and occupiers and for a variety of sectors including real estate, retail, energy or local authorities. I advise both landlord and tenant clients in managing large property portfolios on a wide range of issues and also assist on complex standalone disputes. I also regularly provide strategic advice to clients on large transactions in conjunction with transactional, construction and planning colleagues.

Pre-emptive site protection injunctions: Preparing for protest

07.03.2025
In recent years, landowners have obtained pre-emptive injunctions against 'persons unknown' to protect their sites against trespass and other unlawful obstructive acts (known as a "newcomer injunction"). Sites which have received the benefit of such protection include large development sites, university campuses, local authority land, sports venues and oil and gas sites.
