The Liverpool-based team at J B Leitch Ltd is regarded as having a ‘diverse range of expertise’ but have a clear niche focus and ‘expert-level competency’ in complex work related to building safety, in particular on the Building Safety Act 2022 which followed the 2017 Grenfell Tower tragedy. Its workload includes advising landlords and tenants on such issues as warranties and insurance, and proceedings developers, insurers and contractors. Director and principal solicitor Jonathan Leitch is at the team’s helm alongside ‘extremely efficient’ legal director Philip Parkinson. The ‘knowledgeable’ senior associate Camilla Waszek is one to watch.
