    Jack enjoys a dual property specialism in the law of Real Property and residential Landlord and Tenant law. His Real Property practice spans the full range of disputes heard in the County Court, High Court and Tribunals with a particular emphasis on Land Registration and neighbouring land disputes. Frequently, he is instructed in claims concerning agricultural land. Jack’s Landlord and Tenant practice focuses on private sector disrepair and possession, a subject he has written on in the legal press. He is also instructed in social housing disputes concerning serious anti-social behaviour, harassment and committal to prison. Jack represents landlords and tenants alike and is content to accept Legal Aid and pro bono instructions where appropriate.
