Richard is a Partner in the Dispute Resolution team.
He has a strong specialism within the banking sector, dealing with litigation on behalf of building societies, both in the County Court and High Court.
Richard’s lender practice ranges from claimant work in respect of professional negligence claims involving valuers or conveyancers, to complex mortgage arrears cases involving issues such as undue influence, misrepresentation, unfair relationships, and/or breaches of Mortgage Conduct of Business (MCOB). He also has experience in recovering mortgage shortfalls on behalf of lenders – which tend to be defended based on a sale at undervalue and/or limitation.
Richard additionally acts on behalf of lenders on defended claims for such matters as financial mis-selling of investment products and claims that have a financial service element to the dispute (which has been instructed in respect of claims involving Institute of Financial Accountants (IFA) members).
He acts on behalf of individuals and businesses in relation to high-valued debt recovery, fraud cases, property disputes between family members, general commercial contract disputes, the removal of trespassers from land and boundary disputes, and the obtaining of Civil Restraint Orders.
