He has an excellent track record and always tries to achieve an early resolution where it is possible to do so.

In it for the long haul
David took on my case over two years ago,after reviewing all the details he made it clear I had grounds for litigation. David made understand of all the pitfalls in all areas going forward. After guiding me to all the correct professional people for advise he put together a strong case for court proceedings, which ended in a very good outcome.
David was definitely there for the long haul.
I must also commend Anna Ramsden trainee solicitor who's help was invaluable

bad situation ends very well
I had a very bad situation when in good faith I agreed with a specialist repair / restorer to carry out a very extensive restoration of my Classic Brabus G Wagon. I purchased circa £28k in parts and the labour was to be “about 50% of the parts cost”.
The restorer ordered an additional £13k of parts from Mercedes and sent me an invoice for €13k for the parts and $29k for the labour. This was to be a total for the works of £70k for the restoration, which I really was not happy about. To complicate matters further the restorer transferred the vehicle to an unconnected third party.
CLR Law and David Lant absolutely came to the rescue. David applied for injunctive relief to prevent any damage to the vehicle pending resolution of the claim. It was slow and the pandemic did not help but David managed to get custody of the G Wagon with success in the main claim for damages. The main restorer went insolvent and obtained a costs order against the third party.
I can’t thank David enough. He has a professional, steady hand when things are less than certain and achieved an outstanding result in the circumstances.
