Rupert joined Blanchards Bailey in 2025 as a Commercial and Property solicitor, advising individuals and businesses on a broad range of disputes across Dorset and the South West. Qualified as a solicitor in 2024, Rupert's practice spans contentious property, commercial property, agricultural land, and civil and commercial litigation, with a focus on delivering practical, commercially grounded solutions. A significant part of Rupert's work involves contentious property matters, including boundary disputes, adverse possession, rights of way and easements, restrictive covenants, trespass, private nuisance, lease disputes, TOLATA claims (Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996), and a wide range of landlord and tenant issues. Rupert also advises on commercial property litigation, including disputes relating to dilapidations, forfeiture and commercial lease matters, and acts in disputes involving agricultural land. In addition, he represents clients in civil and commercial litigation, including contractual disputes, misrepresentation, negligence and money claims. Rupert is a strong advocate of early resolution, helping clients to avoid the cost and disruption of court proceedings while remaining fully prepared to litigate when it is in a client's best interests. Clients value Rupert's approachable and pragmatic style and his ability to keep matters constructive, even when dealing with the opposing party. He prioritises clear, straightforward communication, explaining the legal position and the available options in a way that is easy to understand, enabling clients to make confident decisions at every stage. Rupert focuses on early, commercial outcomes through negotiation and settlement where appropriate, while remaining fully prepared to progress matters robustly when litigation is necessary. He particularly enjoys resolving the day-to-day challenges clients face in property disputes, and finds that practical problem-solving central to his work. Born and raised in Dorset, Rupert is a local litigation specialist with strong knowledge of this area and its property landscape.
