Direct Access Barrister

Bryan Patterson-Whitaker

I am a specialist business and property barrister, with 10 years experience in the field. Prior to coming to the Bar, I enjoyed a 20+ year career in the property development industry, giving me a particular advantage in this area of law. I work predominantly in the North of England.

I regularly deal with landlord and tenant litigation, disputes over the ownership and transfer of land, boundaries, rights of way, trees and hedges, trespass and nuisance claims, insolvency and debt, consumer credit and contract & commercial litigation. I also have a particular interest in shareholder and partnership disputes.

*Due to existing work commitments, I generally need at least 14-21 days notice to draft documents or represent clients at hearings. If you think you may need my services, please contact me asap to confirm capacity / availability / pricing.
