CooperBurnett has expanded its litigation team with the appointment of a new Partner, John Spence, who specialises in property litigation.

CooperBurnett has expanded its litigation team with the appointment of a new Partner, John Spence, who specialises in property litigation. A member of the Property Litigation Association, he joins the team from a London practice where he headed up the property litigation team. Previous to that, John was at a large regional firm in Kent.

 

John has more than 16 years’ experience in all aspects of property disputes including residential and commercial landlord and tenant work, dilapidations and service charge disputes, business and residential possession claims. He also advises on land law disputes, leasehold enfranchisement and right to manage claims. In addition, he has developed a niche specialisation involving party wall and right to light cases.

 

“I am excited to have joined CooperBurnett,” says John. “This is a great opportunity with a firm which has an excellent reputation for both property and commercial work. I am looking forward to supporting the firm’s clients with any property litigation issues they might have.”

 

John graduated from Queen Mary College, University of London, with an LLB Honours degree, and completed his Legal Practice Course at The College of Law, London. He qualified as a solicitor in 2001. 

 

“I always wanted to be a lawyer” says John. “While I was training, property litigation was the subject I enjoyed the most. I like the problem-solving aspect and finding ways to help clients.”

 

John has lived in Tunbridge Wells for the past 15 years and is looking forward to reconnecting with the property market and business community in this area. When not at work, he enjoys spending time with his family, as well as cycling, and playing golf and tennis. 

 

“We are delighted to have appointed a lawyer with John’s vast experience in property litigation,” says Partner and head of Dispute Resolution, Joseph Oates. “His arrival will enable us to offer our clients – both commercial and private – a new level of property litigation expertise.”
