Stephen Willmer accepts instructions across the gamut (see below) of chancery and commercial practice in England and Wales. There is in his practice an emphasis on disputes concerning houses, flats or apartments and high street commercial premises, albeit the disputes arise for different reasons, personal and professional, and may be couched in different terms.
At one end of the spectrum are cases arising out of inheritances, at the other those of purely commercial concern and, in the middle, differences between neighbours or residential co-owners. Underlaying all – or most – of which is his adjacent work in related areas such as those within the ambit of the Insolvency and Companies Court, the Property Tribunal and the Court of Protection.
Across the range of this work, there are often allegations of financial dishonesty (and worse).
Stephen likes to think that his advice is practical and that his representation in court is firm. He is always keen to get under the skin of a problem and to consider it from all angles.
In the realm of business law, Stephen Willmer’s clients are usually SMEs, quite often with a family heritage or where the principal relationships are long-standing. As described above, the physical focal point of argument is typically a dwelling, or high street commercial premises.
SAMPLE CASE TYPES:
In the field of property law, Stephen’s practice is very wide-ranging and involves and equally wide client base (including public interest and community benefit entities) often with an overlap of harassment allegations.
SAMPLE CASE TYPES:
Stephen Willmer has been public access qualified for the best part of 15 years and, where appropriate, has handled hundreds of cases on this basis.
