Solicitor - Director & Solicitor

SRA ID: 411118

I am a Director of Housing/Property Litigation at Duncan Lewis Solicitors. I have over 15 years’ experience in housing and property litigation law. I litigate and deal with a wide variety of housing and property law dispute cases including possession claims and eviction matters, landlord and tenant disputes, homelessness, housing disrepair, bringing judicial review matters, review/appeals relating to local authority housing decisions, bringing and defending injunctions, boundary disputes, property nuisance/negligence claims, consumer and contractual matter, debt recovery and enforcement. I have considerable experience dealing with small claims cases to multi-track cases and undertake my own advocacy at Court and Tribunals on behalf of my clients. I am dedicated and determined to achieve the best possible outcome for my clients. I have earned a reputation for taking on difficult cases that no one thinks can succeed and I have gone on to obtain excellent results for my clients. I have also built good relations with external agencies and I am always on hand to answer housing queries and give guidance. I have appeared on TalkRadio Live and other media outlets on more than one occasion discussing the needs of the victims of the 2017 Grenfell disaster and how the cuts to legal aid for housing disrepair have impacted vulnerable tenants. I have also been interviewed to discuss the Government’s low levels of spending on social housing and the impact on landlords and tenants during the COVID-19 outbreak. In addition, I have written articles for a number of media platforms about current social housing issues. I was also a speaker at Liverpool's Law Society Housing Conference 2024 discussing Housing Conditions claims. I am ranked as a 'Leading Individual', 'Next Generation Partner' and 'Recommended Lawyer' by The Legal 500 for my social housing work across London and in the South-East. I am also ranked in Chambers and Partners.
