Commercial Landlord & Tenant Disputes
Our lawyers are assertive litigators and experienced negotiators. We can advise you of your options to achieve a resolution of your property dispute which may include Court proceedings, arbitration, mediation and other dispute resolution alternatives.
Dealing with tenants of business premises in financial difficulties may need a more creative solution than simply forfeiting the lease and finding a new tenant. If your tenant has gone bust – check the lease. If they were not the original tenant, but took an assignment from your original tenant you may be able to go back to the original tenant and recover the rent from them instead.

Residential Landlord and Tenant
We specialise in acting for Landlords and Managing Agents with significant property portfolios as well as representing Landlords and Tenants of larger residential properties.It is important that as a landlord you comply with the legislation when managing your property so as to avoid claims being made against you.
Examples of possible disputes between landlords and tenants are:
- Tenants have stopped paying their rent.
- Damage to the property or disruptive behaviour.
- Dispute with the letting agents.
- Tenant eviction.
- Service charge and insurance claims.
We can assist you in giving practical advice on how to manage your relationship with your tenant or landlord, prepare the documentation you need and ensure that if court proceedings become necessary they are handled in a cost effective and time efficient manner.
We do not advise:
- Tenants on Housing Law
- publicly funded Legal Help / Legal Assistance scheme (Legal Aid). If you are in receipt of benefits or think you may qualify for the scheme it may assist you to make enquiries of your local Citizens Advice Bureau or a firm offering Legal Aid advice.
