Brie is recommended as a leading silk in the latest editions of The Legal 500 and Chambers UK . In recent years she won Barrister of the Year at the Modern Law Awards and Chambers UK’s Real Estate Silk of the Year Award. She is a client focused property barrister experienced at dealing with all aspects of property litigation, property related probate and professional negligence as well as franchising.
Brie’s successful property practice, focusing in particular on real property, property development and, the more commercial aspects of property work continues to flourish. In addition she has developed a strong reputation for her contentious probate work, which frequently involves property issues.
Property related professional negligence (particularly involving solicitors and surveyors), probate (often involving property issues) and franchising form the balance of Brie’s practice.
Mediation is the other string to Brie’s bow and Chambers UK notes she is “a great mediator“. She has a great deal of experience of mediation from both angles: as a mediator and representing clients in mediations. She is increasingly in demand in both capacities and works as a mediator privately and in the FTT.
Brie’s preferred form of transport is a motor cycle, although during the pandemic she has taken up cycling. She has a reputation for enjoying activities like bungee jumping, roller coasters, body flying and travel to far flung places such as the North Pole, Iran and Kurdistan.
Brie is also able to accept direct access instructions and is often instructed to provide an initial assessment of prospects and strategic advice.
