My experience

I am a solicitor in the Property Litigation team. For business and commercial disputes I deal with:

  • commercial rent arrears recovery procedure (CRAR);
  • construction disputes;
  • rights of way, easement and restrictive covenant disputes; and
  • town and village green applications.

With regards to residential matters, I deal with the following:

  • Residential possession proceedings
  • Serving s.8 and s.21 notices
  • Residential lettings advice
  • Enforcement of possession and money judgments
  • Tenancy renewals and deposit claims/procedure
  • Agricultural tenancies
  • Breach of lease and disrepair terms
  • Rights of way, easement and restrictive covenant disputes
  • Adverse possession claims
  • Neighbour and boundary disputes/party wall act notices

Prior to joining the Commercial Disputes team I worked in our Commercial Property department where I advised on landlord and tenant matters, planning agreements and commercial land transfers.

How I’ve helped our clients

From the outset, I found Lisa to be professional, capable, knowledgeable and attentive; she remained all of those things throughout the 8 month process of gaining possession. Uncooperative tenants made the situation very stressful at times; Lisa's warmth and understanding was so appreciated and made the difficult times a lot more bearable. Because of my experience with Lisa, I have decided to use Paris Smith for all of our legal needs from now on. I have been working with various solicitor firms in Southampton for decades but I have rarely enjoyed such a high level of client service.
