James Overton

Dispute Resolution Lawyer

Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

I specialise in advising clients in relation to complex boundary and neighbour disputes as well as disputes with professional advisors, landowners, property developers, landlords and tenants. In addition I have extensive experience handling non contentious property work having previously worked for several years in our residential property department. I enjoy a varied caseload which includes providing expert advice relating to easements, deed variations, lease extensions and title review work. I am based in the Cotswolds and work in our Chipping Norton office. I enjoy assisting both local and national clients resolve their disputes and I pride myself on carrying the burden for my clients so that they don’t have to. As a dispute resolution lawyer I am able to strategically employ and direct my strong foundational property law experience in such a way which enables me to gain the upperhand for my clients. Most recently I worked on a landmark boundary dispute case in the heart of Oxford and attended a five day trial with King’s Counsel.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICE FROM HEDGES LAW

I instructed Hedges Law on a relatively simple legal transaction but which was complicated by the criteria involved i.e. conveyances and documents over 100 years old. James Overton the lawyer involved did a site visit to have a full understanding of the matter and this level of personal involvement was matched by Rachel Harwood with the regular communications which followed which is so important in any legal matter..
