1 Crown Office Row Brighton

1 Crown Office Row remains a first port of call for property work in the South East. Property law specialist Simon Sinnatt is widely praised as an ‘extremely strong advocate’. He acts for developers, local governments, and private clients on a regular basis. Paul Ashwell has considerable experience handling property disputes in the private and public sectors. Michael Walker continues to build a strong practice covering landlord and tenant, boundary, and leasehold enfranchisement disputes, among others. Matthew Withers acted on behalf of the defendants in Hunt, Hunt & Hunt v Pollard and Pollard, a nuisance claim concerning a Victorian-style carriage lantern affixed to the defendant’s property which the claimants unsuccessfully argued shone into their bedroom and therefore prevented them from sleeping.
