Solicitor
I am Attwells’ Litigation Partner. I specialise in civil and commercial litigation and have a special interest in property litigation and landlord and tenant matters.
I am a member of the Property Litigation Association and have expertise in matters relating to adverse possession, boundary disputes, nuisance neighbours, and possession actions against residential and commercial tenants.
I have conducted matters in the High Court as well as before the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry and the Residential Property Tribunal. Outside of contentious property matters I carry a general litigation caseload.
Clients value my strong analytical skills and supportive approach. l am happy to discuss flexible funding arrangements for the handling of matters such as conditional fee or ‘no win-no fee’ agreements.
Specialisms: Litigation, Disputes, Landlord, and Tenant
Manager or Supervisor: Nick Attwell

Client Reviews
Over these seemingly long past months you have been so kind and understanding, not to mention extremely patient with this old girl! There is no way, that given all the circumstances that arose, I would never have been able to continue without your support and expertise.
