Career

Mathew Ditchburn is head of the Hogan Lovells real estate disputes team and one of the UK’s leading practitioners in property litigation. Working with investors, occupiers, and a range of other stakeholders, Mathew helps clients to think laterally and find creative solutions to even the most intractable property disputes.

Contentious issues with real estate are manifold, ranging from protecting the value of your assets to managing the business space you use every day. Mathew’s experience spans the full range, having handled disputes arising out of buying and selling real estate, leasing commercial property, secured lending, and redevelopment. He is particularly well known for dealing with these matters within the added complexities of an insolvency scenario and is one of the true authorities in this area, as well as actions against negligent professionals.

Mathew joined Hogan Lovells in 2002 and was made partner in 2011. He now runs the firm’s top-ranking London real estate disputes team. He is Vice-Chair of the Property Litigation Association, Vice-Chair of the British Property Federation’s Insolvency Committee, Chair of the Joint Insolvency Committee, and a member of R3 (the association of insolvency professionals). He is a 2019 Blundell lecturer, a regular press commentator, and speaker at industry conferences. In their latest editions, Chambers & Partners placed Mathew as a Band 1 practitioner in his field and the Legal 500 named him in their Hall of Fame.
