ABOUT RICHARD WILLCOX
Chambers and Partners 2025I am a commercial property litigator at Shoosmiths and part of the largest and most experienced property litigation practices in the UK.I have a particular specialism in disputes arising under the electronic communications code acting predominantly for institutional landowners and infrastructure providers. I regularly speak about changes to this area of law and my thought leadership pieces have previously been picked up by both The Lawyer and the Yorkshire Post.Aside from telecoms, my practice focuses mainly on identifying and resolving PLC housebuilder and commercial property development constraints, as well as complex landlord and tenant asset management work.Work highlights include:* Obtaining an emergency injunction against protest groups seeking to disrupt a petroleum company\'s UK assets.* Advising on the strategy and the steps required to exercise a conditional break option on a £1.4m p.a. central London retail unit.* Protecting critical airspace navigational infrastructure against hostile 1954 Act redevelopment claim.* Litigating on complex interplay between mines and minerals and Inclosure Acts, in relation to a significant west London development site.* Acting for charitable trust in successfully opposing erection of telecoms mast on registered common land.I have been repeatedly ranked and recognised by the legal directories over a number of years.
