About Napthens LLP

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

David has over 20 years of commercial litigation experience, advising 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 highlighting his ability to retain facts and figures, and his instinctive grasp of situations, quickly identifying priorities and potential pitfalls.

Type of Work

The team provides specialist advice on:

1. Commercial landlord and tenant disputes, including rent arrears, forfeiture, eviction, 1954 Act renewals, break notices, and disrepair/dilapidations.
2. Issues surrounding assignments and 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 in-depth knowledge, excellent technical and commercial skills, and reputation as one of the top litigation teams in the Northwest.

We foster collaboration across departments, with many team members having transitioned from international and national firms. We maintain strong relationships with referrers and intermediaries, and our large commercial property/real estate team collaborates closely with us, benefiting mutual clients.
