Mark Ridley

Solicitor / Head of Dispute Resolution

Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

I qualified as a solicitor in 2010 and since then I have practised dispute resolution, exclusively. Before then, I graduated from the University of Leeds with a degree in Economics and spent 4 years working outside the legal services sector for a FTSE 100 company. As a consequence, I am able to draw upon first-hand experience when meeting the requirements of commercial clients. My commercial practice extends to include expertise in a variety of different dispute resolution areas including contract, misrepresentation, shareholder disputes, property, and intellectual property. I also act for individuals, and have considerable experience advising clients in connection with contentious wills, trusts and probate – including 1975 Act applications. In addition, I have resolved many cases involving co-owner disputes, landlord and tenant disputes and rights of way disputes. I acted successfully for a client in the reported case of Watson v Sadiq and another [2015] EWHC 3403 (QB).

Estate of my late mother

Matters pertaining to the estate of my late mother were dealt with efficiently, compassionately, sympathetically and with honesty. Without the expertise and knowledge I received, I believe I would still be in muddle now trying to deal with the estate. At what was a truly difficult and sad time all communication to me was done sensitively but with proficiency. I am grateful for the service they provided to ensure all my mother's late affairs were dealt with correctly.

Excellent all round

We recently used BakerLaw for a sale and subsequent purchase of a property, and a deed of trust. Despite some difficulties in the chain beneath us, the service from BakerLaw was exceptional throughout from the whole team, but in particular from Jenn and Kevin, who went above and beyond to ensure the transactions were completed successfully in often frequently changing process towards the end of our completion and exchange. Would certainly recommend and look forward to using their services again.

Resolving an unjustified right of way claim.

BakerLaw managed a case for me where someone had claimed access onto land that I owned. The law was very clear on the matter but the claimant persisted with an unjustified claim. The advise I was given by BakerLaw proved to be accurate and they guided me to a successful resolution.

I've used Baker Law several times and they have always been totally professional, very helpful and communicative, and pleasant to deal with too. Particularly Mark Ridley and Nancy Wilson, both of whom saw us successfully through very difficult legal tangles. We could not wish for better solicitors.

Myself and my husband dealt with Harriet and Mark and they were so helpful and professional. They were very thorough and resolved our issue quickly. I cannot praise this firm enough. Fantastic.
