Ian Brierley - DLA Piper
Within: Property litigation
DLA Piper's strength lies in handling rights of light and other neighbourly and property development-related matters alongside contentious landlord and tenant issues. Fully accredited CEDR mediator Ian Brierley heads the 'knowledgeable, experienced and reactive' team, which includes senior associate Alasdair Thomas, who has a specialism in contentious property development matters. In recent significant work, the team advised the European Medicines Agency (EMA) on whether the event of Brexit will frustrate its lease of its premises in Canary Wharf with the claimant, Canary Wharf Group, seeking a declaration that this was not the case.
