What can I do for you

Julian is a specialist in the real estate disputes team. His work involves identifying potential problems, avoiding them where possible, and arguing about them in a more or less formal way when that is not possible. His clients include private individuals, institutional landowners and their insurers.

Supporting your ambitions

Among Julian's recent highlights are: successfully fending off a barage of over 20 notices to quit relating to a client's Agricultural Holdings Act farm tenancy, preserving the value of the family farm and several cases involving development land where objectors tried to frustrate the clients' plans by relying on restrictive covenants of dubious enforceabilty, helping to unlock the development value in the clients' sites.

What else should you know?

Julian is a member of the Property Litigation Associatoin which is useful for staying up to date with current thinking on technical aspects of this complex area of law and proposed changes to it.

In his spare time he can sometimes be seen playing a variety of instruments badly and acting in a local amateur dramatics group.

What our clients say about us

“I think Mills & Reeve are a wonderful firm. The support they have provided to us in a really difficult area has been brilliant, collaborative and commercially minded. The team were absolutely wonderful and a joy to work with. Amazing advice and support and a real collaborative effort with us. I can't thank them enough for getting us through some really tough times and doing so with an amazing can-do attitude.”

“They are friendly, fast, always available and always on top of the game. I tend to judge my legal team against the other side's legal team and never doubt Mills & Reeve is the better of the two.”

“All interactions have been very clear. Responses to questions have always been very swift and unambiguous. Our company, and my family, have used various services in Mills & Reeve with the same level of satisfaction.”

“I value the fact that Mills & Reeve are recognised as a good place to work in the UK Best Companies survey. This aligns with the values of our business and means that Mills & Reeve can share what is required to achieve this status with our business.”
