Strengthened by the arrival of the new practice head Vanessa Joll in May 2023, Shakespeare Martineau LLP deploys a ‘creative approach’ in tackling complex development disputes, contested 1954 Act claims and break notice issues. Based out of Birmingham, Martin Edwards brings vast expertise in the education, telecoms and energy sectors to the team, whilst the ’legally excellent’ James Fownes is an expert on the contentious aspects of lease renewals and break clauses. Justine Ball acts on behalf of developers and corporate landlords, and Pia Eames is also noted as a key contact.
