Andrew Walker KC
Andrew's intelligence and commercial experience set him apart from others.
Members of Maitland Chambers routinely appear in the Court of Appeal and High Court in a whole host of property matters, including landlord and tenant issues, covenants and easements and land registration cases. Tim Calland is instructed in Cooper v Ludgate House Limited, a prominent rights-of-light dispute which resulted in the highest ever award of damages following a successful injunction to prevent nuisance caused by a developer. Adam Smith acts for the sellers in Lady Beresford-Peirse and others v Campbell, a case which centred around former Tottenham Hotspur captain Sol Campbell’s failure to complete the purchase of a multi-million pound property.

Michael Pryor
I have always found him to be a masterful lawyer, confident in what he knows and even more confident in what he does not, which makes him a safe pair of hands, which is what clients want and need at a time when they are at their most stressed and anxious over a case that has the capacity to inflict a significant amount of pain and harm. No matter who he is instructed by, Michael is always the perfect gentleman and a calming influence. Having said that, if you do have to go into battle, his formidable knowledge and strategic thinking leave you in no doubt that this is who you want leading the charge on your behalf.
