Trusts of land and equitable interests in land

Legislation related to land can be complex, extensive and detailed. Our property dispute team can provide clear, incisive guidance on the steps to take when considering claims for and equitable interest based on implied trusts or estoppel, claims pursuant to the Trusts of Land & Appointment of Trustees Act 1996 (TOLATA) and claims for vesting orders and bona vacantia issues.

Professional negligence claims

You are entitled to expect your professional advisers to act in your best interests, know what they are talking about and provide you with a competent level of service. Unfortunately, this is not always the case, and the results of professional negligence can be very costly for you and your business.

Commercial and property matters involve a wide range of professional services; solicitors, surveyors, accountants, planning consultants, pension trustees, civil/structural engineers or architects. Where your professional adviser has been negligent, our team will work with you to formulate your claim and obtain the best outcome for you.
