Brynmor is a property law specialist. The Legal 500 describes him as “a highly intelligent and astute barrister. He has superb attention to detail and gets to the nub of a matter very quickly. Clients love his no-nonsense approach.”

His practice covers all areas of real estate litigation. This ranges from disputes about boundaries, easements and land registration through to commercial and residential landlord and tenant matters. He has appeared in Courts and Tribunals at all levels. He has recently appeared in the Supreme Court (Ridley v Brown – adverse possession) and the Court of Appeal (White v Alder – boundary agreements).

Brynmor combines an excellent technical grasp of property law and formidable advocacy with a pragmatic approach to dispute resolution. Clients value his strategic and commercial approach to litigation.

He is experienced in private sector and public sector property disputes. Brynmor is a member of the A Panel of Junior Counsel to the Crown. He undertakes a variety of work for central government departments. He also acts extensively for local government and for social landlords. The directories also recognise him as a leader in the fields of public law, local government and social housing. He has particular expertise where property law issues interact with issues of public, human rights and equality law.

Brynmor is based in Manchester but practises nationwide. He is the go-to property junior on the Northern Circuit and typically appears against experienced and specialist counsel. He has appeared on numerous occasions before the Property Chamber of the First-Tier Tribunal in leasehold and land registration disputes, and on appeals to the Upper Tribunal, the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court.

Brynmor is ranked in both the leading directories. Chambers and Partners says that he “is a brilliant advocate with his feet on the ground and a firm grasp of the work of a solicitor”. The Legal 500 says that he “is absolutely razor-sharp on the law, explains matters in eminently understandable terms for lay clients, and is superb on his feet. His cross-examination skills are second-to-none”.

Brynmor is a committee member of the Property Bar Association and of the Manchester Business and Property Courts Property Sub-Forum.
