Contact

We approached Stephen Scown’s property litigation team in relation to a dispute with our landlord and the matter was handled by Mark Richardson. His advice was prompt, to the point and spot on. Mark gave us the ammo we needed to challenge our landlord and saved us thousands of pounds in management fees that we had been charged but were not legally obliged to pay. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mark and his team.
