About Jack

I provide advice to individuals, charities and businesses on property dispute matters to manage and resolve existing disputes or prevent them arising in the first place. I enjoy the challenge of getting to grips with complex disputes and coming up with creative solutions.

Jack advises on all types of property dispute resolution, including for example break notices, commercial rent arrears, dilapidations, forfeiture, along with residential landlord and tenant claims. Jack also advises on disputes involving trespass, nuisance, building works, misrepresentation, rights of way and adverse possession. 

Jack has a particular interest in advising on the range of challenges faced by executors and administrators where rented properties form part of the estate’s assets. 

Jack also maintains a housing practice which includes homelessness, possession claims, public law challenges and housing conditions. 

Jack qualified as a solicitor in 2018 and joined Russell-Cooke in 2022.

A rising star.
