Neil has a diverse and busy practice that encompasses most facets of commercial and traditional common law. Although initially his practice revolved around employment and personal injury, now many of Neil’s cases involve land, property and negligence issues. He has an extensive amount of experience in giving practical advice in disputes that require careful law and factual analysis. His pragmatic, friendly, straight talking advice is always appreciated regardless of the client’s status. 

Neil is regularly instructed by mortgage lenders in respect of difficult repossession issues and in related professional negligence disputes acting for and against solicitors and surveyors; he also regularly appears on behalf of major commercial entities and lending institutions in claims arising out of mortgages. This has included major fraud trials involving complex legal and factual scenarios, requiring the involvement of the third party lenders limited liability. His academic background combines well with his tenacious advocacy style and Neil’s practice continues to flourish. He undertakes both advocacy and advisory work. He accepts instructions in most aspects of commercial and contractual disputes, landlord and tenant claims (housing), professional negligence, real property, mortgages, insolvency and fraud. He regularly appears in the County court and high court having experience of prolonged multi track trials, judicial review, tribunals and assisting in mediation.
