Her clients are owners and occupiers of homes, offices, business premises and land, with instructions often coming from across our property group and from existing relationships. Typical work includes portfolio asset management tasks for national retailers where statutory notices need to be served consistently across many leases, and regular instructions from receivers to confirm appointments and recover possession. She is also frequently asked to guide managing agents on service charge issues and nuisance enforcement in blocks with competing interests.

Hannah’s style is direct, careful and solution led. From the first call, clients get a realistic view of options, costs and risk. Where the economics or human factors make litigation a poor choice, she will say so plainly – including steering people away from disputes that are likely to drain time and budget. Prevention is a big part of her practice. Hannah is regularly brought in at the front end to stress test drafting, futureproof deals and anticipate where disputes might arise, working alongside colleagues in Property to keep moving parts coordinated.

What sets Hannah apart is depth of knowledge applied with economy of words. Hannah does not waste time or client money. At the centre of her practice is the desire to help resolve the issue in hand so that the parties involved can move forward. Hannah carries the law at her fingertips, filters the noise and gives a preferred route with clear reasons. When litigation in the court or tribunal is necessary, she runs proceedings with a steady hand, delivering tough communications as required; where negotiation or Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) will serve the client better, she structures a path with practical solutions, cutting through the narrative of a dispute to laser in on the key issues.
