Simone heads up our Sheffield based Real Estate Litigation team whilst working with members of our teams based in London and Bristol to deliver a seamless service to clients. The Sheffield team is one of the largest, if not the largest, regional specialist litigation team consisting of nine specialist lawyers, one legal executive, two paralegals, two trainees and one legal apprentice.
Simone has over twenty-three years’ expertise with a focus on development disputes and has recently delivered complex vacant possession strategies on current major, high profile, redevelopments for SEGRO Plc, NewRiver, Hermes Real Estate, Mileway and The Mayfield Partnership.
She is highly valued by her clients as evidenced by the breadth of her client base and work including: her instruction on the ground-breaking £1.4 billion, 15-year regeneration project of the former Mayfield train station site in Manchester; and involvement as the lead partner advising SEGRO Plc, a FTSE 500 property investment company, on the expansion of Heathrow airport.
She also has extensive experience in the High Court litigation of conditional break options.
In addition, Simone is acting on a range of real estate disputes including injunctions, service charge disputes, tenant insolvency, forfeiture, dilapidations claims, contested lease renewals and contractual disputes for BP International, Mileway, AXA, BBC Pension Fund, SEGRO Plc, Hammerson, Hermes, Sheffield University and Aberdeen Property UK Retail Parks Partnership.
