Document:
Harriet is a specialist property litigator, who also advises on related professional indemnity matters. Her practice encompasses the whole of property litigation, with an increasing emphasis on high value commercial property and development work.
She offers thorough, direct and clear advice and assistance. Within just three years of starting practice, Harriet was recognised as an ‘up and coming junior’ for real estate litigation by Chambers and Partners, when she was noted for being “intellectually very able” and “genuinely committed to the client’s interests.” She is now described as “extremely hard-working, very thorough, very good-humoured and enjoyable to work with”.
Harriet has appeared in the High Court, County Court, and Court of Appeal, as well as the Upper and First-tier Tribunals, sometimes on her own account, and sometimes as part of a team. She is also often asked to speak on matters relating to her practice, and has given talks or run workshops for the Property Litigation Association and numerous firms of solicitors.
Outside Chambers, she enjoys playing and listening to music (the flute is her instrument), and improving her french. Although, this year, too much of her spare time has been spent thinking about and drafting the book she is co-authoring on the Right to Manage.
