Practice Areas
Brie is a leading silk dealing with all aspects of property litigation, probate and professional negligence as well as franchising. Brie’s clients appreciate her plain speaking and understanding of their commercial needs.
Brie’s successful property practice focuses on real property, property development (currently many cladding issues), property transactions and disputes involving large complex mixed-use estates. In addition, she has a strong reputation for her contentious probate work, which frequently involves property issues.
Property related professional negligence (involving solicitors and surveyors) and franchising disputes (sometimes alongside L&T issues) form the balance of Brie’s practice.
Mediation is another area of expertise for Brie. She has a real depth of mediation experience from both angles: as a mediator and representing clients in mediations. She is in regular demand in both capacities, working as a mediator privately and in the FTT.
