Andrew Singer KC handles constructions disputes, including construction-related professional negligence and judicial review proceedings. With more than 25 years of varied property law experience, Matthew Hall now works primarily for developers and local authorities in connection with rights in or over development land. He has niche experience in cases considering the effect of sporting rights, ancient leases, and planning covenants on development land. Geraint Wheatley also has extensive experience in the field, now mainly working on commercial property disputes.
