Daniel Gatty
Position
Daniel specialises in disputes about property, with an emphasis on real property and commercial landlord and tenant. Daniel is also well known for his expertise in mortgages and secured lending. Daniel is known for his extensive knowledge of land registration law which is one of his strengths as a property litigator.
