Position

Barrister specialising in dual disciplines of family work and property litigation, offering significant experience in analysing complex legal issues and practical courtroom advocacy. Mark’s practice in public and private children law frequently involves allegations of violence, non-accidental injuries, emotional damage, sexual abuse, mental health/capacity issues and chronic substance misuse. His experience in representing local authorities, parents, other family members and children (both through their children’s guardians and independently) enables him to accurately assess the issues that the court is most likely to be concerned with when making decisions. He is able to offer parents and relatives sympathetic yet pragmatic guidance in their cases. Knowledge of special needs and education law provides Mark with a particular advantage in concisely analysing expert evidence and gives him genuine insight into the issues often encountered in public law children cases. Mark’s property work encompasses conveyancing issues, boundary disputes, easements, commercial landlord and tenant, residential tenancies and nuisance. He also regularly acts in the commercial and professional negligence proceedings which are often linked to property litigation and resultant business disputes. In addition to the traditional courts, Mark’s work takes him before specialist tribunals and to mediations. Mark also provides advice overseas to armed forces personnel and their dependents in relation to divorce, child residence/contact and legal disputes arising from financial problems.
