Liam Bell

I work with a diverse range of clients, including shopping centre and garden centre owners, industrial park and business centre operators, property developers, high-net-worth individuals, and tenants of offices, warehouses, and retail units. My expertise covers not only commercial landlord-tenant, including dilapidation claims, disputes over rent and service charges, and lease forfeiture, but also all aspects of “real” property, such as boundary and trespass issues, squatter evictions, and rights-of-way claims.

In addition to my core practice, I have considerable experience dealing with property insolvency issues. I assist creditors and Insolvency Practitioners on the property aspects of company liquidation, administration, and CVAs and often advise retail landlords on what those processes mean for their portfolios.

A significant part of my practice involves advising clients on how to avoid litigation, no matter which side of a dispute they are on. I take a commercial approach by understanding the client’s unique motivations and risk tolerance, and my reasoning will always be clear and straightforward whether I ultimately recommend settling or pursuing aggressive legal action.

My time away from work is primarily dedicated to my three young daughters, and I can be found most weekends cheering them on at one of their many dance competitions or karate gradings.
