Daniel Tetsell

Specialising in commercial litigation, Daniel acts for indviduals, SMEs, and large businesses across a broad spectrum of contentious matters including manufacturing and distribution, automotive, retail, and professional services.

He has particular expertise in contract disputes, debt recovery, consumer protection, and the enforcement of judgments. He is regularly instructed in matters involving breach of contract – whether arising from the sale of goods and services, or under statutory consumer protections such as the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

Daniel is frequently involved from the earliest stages of a dispute, advising clients on strategy, risk, and pre-action negotiation. He is experienced in drafting letters of claim, statements of case, and applications, and routinely represents clients through to final hearings and alternative dispute resolution, including mediation. His expertise in the Civil Procedure Rules and litigation process enables him to manage complex claims efficiently and with precision.
