Landmark’s property litigation group has been promoted to the top banding in the 2024 edition of Legal 500 (published today, 4 October 2023).
The achievement follows a stellar couple of years for the group which has seen substantial recent growth for the set’s property litigation specialists. Recent recruits have included James Hanham, Andy Creer, Ellodie Gibbons, and Kate Traynor whose arrival has bolstered an already substantial team of real estate-focused barristers.
Joint group heads Myriam Stacey KC and Toby Watkin KC said:
“We are very fortunate that Landmark’s property litigation team has great depth of talent at all levels across the full range of property disputes. This year we have had a particularly strong showing in the highest Courts including seven appearances in the Supreme Court and eight property cases in the Court of Appeal. We are really pleased that the efforts of the group as a whole have been acknowledged by leading legal directory Legal 500 across all types of property work for both Juniors and Silks alike.”
Amongst a plethora of high profile cases featuring Landmark barristers this year is the stand out case of the year Fearn v Tate [UK2023] UKSC 4 revolving around the key issue of nuisance to flat owners caused by observation from Tate Modern’s viewing gallery. Tom Weekes KC and Richard Moules acted for the winning party.
