Jeff is a sought-after property and chancery barrister specialising in complex and high-value disputes. His practice is focused on real estate litigation, insolvency, private client, trusts and commercial litigation for a wide range of UK and international clients. The Legal 500 describes Jeff as "a relentless litigator and generally unflappable in the courtroom, assertive in his submissions and a skilled cross-examiner''.
Property litigation is the cornerstone of Jeff’s practice. Beyond handling the full spectrum of conventional real property and landlord-tenant disputes, he has carved out a significant specialism in cases where property rights intersect with fraud, insolvency, and broken commercial arrangements.
Complementing his property work, Jeff maintains a strong chancery practice, handling trusts of land, proprietary estoppel, and contentious probate cases, often involving fraud and fiduciary breaches. He is also active in insolvency and commercial litigation, representing stakeholders in undervalue transaction claims, director misfeasance, and shareholder disputes.
Mark Ball, Practice Director says "We are very pleased to welcome Jeff Hardman to Landmark Chambers. His strong property law practice, underpinned by a busy chancery and insolvency offering, serves as a natural addition and complement to our existing expertise. We look forward to supporting Jeff as he establishes himself as an integral member of Chambers."
Jeff Hardman says "I’m pleased to be joining Landmark Chambers - a set renowned for its excellence in property, planning and public law. I look forward to contributing to its outstanding reputation and working alongside such esteemed colleagues."
