About Napthens LLP

Napthens LLP offers an opportunity to join a Legal 500 Tier 1 rated commercial litigation team led by David Bailey. The team comprises four lawyers and one legal assistant.

David has over 20 years of commercial litigation experience, representing commercial landlords, property portfolio managers, and managing agents on a broad range of property disputes.

He is recognized by The Legal 500 as 'tenacious and effective', with client testimonials praising his ability to retain facts and figures and his instinctive grasp of situations, quickly identifying priorities and potential pitfalls.

Type of Work

The team specializes in advising on:

1. Commercial landlord and tenant disputes, including rent arrears, forfeiture, eviction, 1954 Act renewals, break notices, and disrepair/dilapidations.
2. Issues surrounding assignments, subletting, alterations, change of use, and possession.
3. Day-to-day property and land disputes, including disputes over land agreements, rights of way, restrictive covenants, and trespass.

You will join a team known for its deep knowledge, excellent technical and commercial skills, and reputation as one of the top litigation teams in the Northwest.

Collaborative Environment

We work closely with colleagues across departments, many of whom have transitioned from international and national firms. We maintain strong relationships with referrers and intermediaries, and have an excellent partnership with our large commercial property and real estate teams, resulting in mutual benefits and longstanding clients.

Why Join Us

At Napthens, our work quality and client satisfaction speak for themselves. We invite you to discuss how we can support and elevate your career.
