Property and construction in Regional Bar

Exchange Chambers


At Exchange Chambers, Brynmor Adams is sought after for his expertise in handling real estate litigation; he recently acted for the respondents before the Court of Appeal in White v Alder & Alder, a case arising from a boundary dispute. The court confirmed that a boundary agreement made between the predecessors in title of a property does bind successors in title, even without the successors' knowledge of the agreement. Lawrence McDonald heads the property practice and routinely handles a broad range of contentious property cases, including trespass claims and disputes over easements. Rachel Coyle is a key port of call for residential and commercial property disputes. Adam Beaumont left the set in June 2026.
