I head Shoosmiths' Real Estate Litigation practice. I also have management and leadership responsibility for our two other Real Estate Specialist Teams; Construction and Planning. Having joined Shoosmiths as its only real estate litigator in 1999, I have been at the forefront of the development of the team into the heavyweight national practice that it is today. With 32 legal advisors specialising in all areas of real estate litigation, and with an unrivalled reputation, we are the team of choice for numerous real estate clients including household names in the retail and leisure sectors, real estate investors, and property developers. In addition to our wide ranging commercial real estate disputes practice, we also have specialists who advise our clients on leasehold enfranchisement (often in relation to mixed use schemes), and housing management issues (including for commercial clients in the build to rent space and the landlords' insurance market).
