David Lant

Solicitor Advocate

Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

David is a vastly experienced lawyer. With over 20 years' knowledge in the field (more than 16 years as a qualified solicitor), David has held senior roles for well-known firms in London, Newcastle upon Tyne, and Dubai. He was a Partner in a North East law firm before taking a Consultant role with CLR Law, enabling him to work from his office at home in rural Northumberland. As a Solicitor-Advocate, David is one of a relatively small number of solicitors in the UK to gain the higher rights of audience qualification. Because of this, David can represent clients from County Court right through to High Court level and beyond. David is a company director for Kitchens Plus Bathrooms, a regional business with a turnover of around £20m. He is also the company secretary for Tynegrain Ltd/Grainco, a global trading business with a turnover of around £200m. David looks after the legal requirements and affairs of both of these substantial entities, indicating the high level of trust in his expertise. David's main area of work is commercial litigation but he also accepts instructions in relation to commercial leases and company/commercial work e.g. shareholders' agreements, asset purchases etc. In relation to disputes, David has acted in a broad range of matters from small claims to multi-million-pound disputes. He has an excellent track record and always tries to achieve an early resolution where it is possible to do so.

Client Review for David Lant at CLR Law Limited

I worked with David on a complex financial dispute, and I'm very satisfied with the support and professionalism he provided throughout the process. David was consistently approachable and communicated clearly, helping me to understand the various steps involved and what to expect at each stage. He was always responsive to my questions and took the time to explain my options fully, never rushing or pressuring decisions. I found his guidance fair and balanced, he kept me updated, advocated for my interests, and helped set realistic expectations about possible outcomes. David's approach to fees was transparent and fair. I felt that his charges reflected the work and expertise required, and there were no unexpected costs along the way. His advice on when to stop further legal action, and prioritize cost-effectiveness, was particularly appreciated. Overall, I would recommend David to anyone seeking legal assistance, especially in financial or dispute resolution matters. His professionalism, integrity, and genuine support made a difficult process much more manageable.

Reclaim moneys due to me

I would like to say that David and Anna reclaimed moneys due to me, after I had been trying for years to sort it out myself. Good, honest professional advice from the start. Thank you.

Commercial lease. All aspects

Fantastic experience. From our first contact with David he explained everything in an easy to digest way, explaining complex legal terms in easy to understand English. He kept us updated at all times, even checking in to acknowledge receipt of information or inform us of a timeline for him to action request. I found the very professional approach coupled with his personal touch allows David to be up there with some of the best professionals I have ever dealt with, not just in the legal profession but all professional services. Highly reccomend!!!
