Recent successes

Recent examples of Greg’s successes include the following:

• Greg settled a high value multi million pound construction and engineering claim brought by a registered provider and owner of a large residential and commercial complex against an international developer and its supply chain arising out of extensive external wall and fire safety defects in a long running High Court claim. Despite the entrenched position adopted by each of the Defendants, Greg was able to force a settlement prior to trial equivalent to c. 95% of the cost and interest inclusive value of his client’s claim.
• Greg settled a high value multi million pound construction and engineering and breach of contract claim brought by the owner of a large residential development against multiple domestic and international insurers in a long running High Court claim. Greg forced a settlement of the claim at a mediation, which amounted to a cost and interest inclusive recovery for his client of over 85% of their total claim value.
• Greg defended a high value multi million pound class action lawsuit brought by a large group of leaseholders against their landlord and building owner in High Court litigation. Greg forced a settlement at mediation equivalent to less than one twentieth of the damages and costs claimed by the Defendants.
• Greg settled a high value multi million pound and highly complex insurance coverage dispute brought by the owner of a large residential and commercial development against their building warranty insurers. Greg secured a high multi million pound settlement for his client.

Non Contentious

Greg regularly advises clients on a variety of insurance topics, including complex policy coverage issues. Greg also advises clients “behind the scenes” how to best protect their position in the event of a dispute, and how to attempt to resolve such matters sensibly and commercially, and without the need for formal legal action.
