PROPERTY DISPUTES
DISPUTED WILLS, TRUSTS AND PROBATE
COMMERCIAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Jeremy Ferris is recognised by Chambers and Partners and The Legal 500 for his expertise in Dispute Resolution.
Jeremy has very wide ranging experience of many aspects of litigation, but has a particular interest in disputes arising out of property given that he was a qualified chartered surveyor in both government and private practice for several years before retraining as a solicitor. He is therefore regularly involved in actions for repossession, rent review disputes, breaches of covenant, dilapidation claims, actions for rent and service charge recovery, advice in respect of lease renewals, requests to sub-let or assign, for changes of user, and consent to alterations. He also advises on nuisance issues, disputes arising over easements, freehold covenants, construction and engineering disputes and other general contentious property matters.
Jeremy’s other core area is in contested trust and probate actions and he routinely advises clients on claims arising out of Wills or Intestacy. That includes challenges to the capacity of the testator, undue influence having been exerted on the testator, claims for dependants under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act, forged wills, removal of executors, disputes as to the meaning of provisions in wills and all other contentious issues that may arise in that arena.
In addition to those two core specialties Jeremy’s broader experience extends to advice on a diverse portfolio of other contentious matters. That includes professional negligence claims against solicitors and accountants and others.
He has recent and ongoing instructions in the High Court and County Court as well as at the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber). He also has extensive experience of arbitration and mediations.
