I am currently advising on a claim for more than 90 prospective purchasers of holiday homes in failed property developments in Calabria, Italy. This case has several reported judgments covering interesting legal points and has received national press coverage. I am also acting for over 200 clients in four further substantial group action claims against solicitors following other unsuccessful off plan property investment schemes with losses of several million pounds.Additionally, I have strong expertise in transport regulatory work, including representing clients at public inquiries and advising goods vehicle and passenger service operators on regulatory matters and road traffic prosecutions.
