We were recommended to Gardner Leader by our family solicitors who do not deal with litigation, and we could not have been signposted to anyone better.

From the outset Michelle Di Gioia handled a complex three-year boundary dispute with skill and real commitment, always prepared to adapt to the way we wished to work. She and Daniel Smith gave us great confidence through their clear explanations, practical handling of the Land Registry and court processes, and steady guidance whenever the case became difficult.

The barrister instructed brought specialist advocacy and sound tactical advice, which proved invaluable in reaching a settlement framed to protect our position. A costs specialist was also engaged to ensure that we were properly guided on costs recovery and exposure; their input made a significant difference.

The combined effort of the team has left us with certainty of title, a determined boundary, revised covenants and easements correctly recorded, and a financial settlement fairly concluded. We have been extremely happy with the service, which was both professional and personable, and we would not hesitate to recommend Gardner Leader.
