Solicitor / Head of Dispute Resolution
I qualified as a solicitor in 2010 and since then I have practised dispute resolution, exclusively.
Before then, I graduated from the University of Leeds with a degree in Economics and spent 4 years working outside the legal services sector for a FTSE 100 company. As a consequence, I am able to draw upon first-hand experience when meeting the requirements of commercial clients. My commercial practice extends to include expertise in a variety of different dispute resolution areas including contract, misrepresentation, shareholder disputes, property, and intellectual property.
I also act for individuals, and have considerable experience advising clients in connection with contentious wills, trusts and probate – including 1975 Act applications. In addition, I have resolved many cases involving co-owner disputes, landlord and tenant disputes and rights of way disputes.
I acted successfully for a client in the reported case of Watson v Sadiq and another [2015] EWHC 3403 (QB).

Dispute Resolution
Excellent all round
We recently used BakerLaw for a sale and subsequent purchase of a property, and a deed of trust.
Despite some difficulties in the chain beneath us, the service from BakerLaw was exceptional throughout from the whole team, but in particular from Jenn and Kevin, who went above and beyond to ensure the transactions were completed successfully in often frequently changing process towards the end of our completion and exchange.
Would certainly recommend and look forward to using their services again.

Resolving an unjustified right of way claim.
BakerLaw managed a case for me where someone had claimed access onto land that I owned. The law was very clear on the matter but the claimant persisted with an unjustified claim. The advise I was given by BakerLaw proved to be accurate and they guided me to a successful resolution.

Thank you Mark for your help with what was, a stressful situation.

Mark and Amanda have remained professional and ethical throughout this extremely stressful experience, which is more than can be said for the opposing solicitors.
Even before we were totally victorious obtaining 100 per cent of what we had sought to achieve, I was recommending BakerLaw to anyone who would listen and I would not hesitate to engage them again.

I can’t express my gratitude enough to the whole team. Seeing the team work, especially during mediation was awe inspiring.

My only regret is that we didn't engage your services sooner.
Mark made it so easy and stress free for us which is in stark contrast to our previous experiences.
