Naomi is a Senior Associate in our Property Litigation Team, based in our Norwich office.

Naomi is experienced in all areas of property litigation and takes a particular interest in complex land disputes. Her direct and no-nonsense approach lends itself to pragmatic and commercial advice, with clear advice to clients upon the merits of their case, their options, and the proportionality of litigating through the courts and/or land tribunals.

Naomi is meticulous in carefully guiding her clients through alternative dispute resolution and, if the only or most cost-effective option is to litigate in court, Naomi is a confident and robust litigator working efficiently alongside counsel to realise successful outcomes for her clients. Naomi works closely with and has a high profile among colleagues across our business, lending her expertise behind-the-scenes with transactions.

Naomi has a keen interest in assisting our Agriculture clients, advising in the full spectrum of possible landlord/tenant relationships, whether agricultural, commercial or residential. Naomi enjoys advising in land-related issues involving covenants, easements, adverse possession, boundaries and dilapidations, and is highly sought after in relation to lease termination strategy and break options. Naomi is part of our Equine and Landed Estates sector groups, and she is therefore well-positioned to assist our private clients with the varied issues which crop up in relation to their property and landlord/tenant relationships.
