Landmark Chambers is 'outstanding in the field of property litigation'. Among the silk end of chambers, David Holland KC represented the appellants before the Court of Appeal in Mohammed v Daji, a high-profile dispute over the ownership of a site where a place of worship was located, while Katharine Holland KC appeared in South Tees Development Corporation v PD Teesport Ltd, a case involving disputed rights of way relating a major brownfield site. Turning to the juniors, Nicholas Taggart is 'a real heavyweight property barrister whose presence adds significant weight and gravitas'. In a boost to chambers, Simon Allison KC was elevated to silk in March 2025.
