Simon Redmayne B.A. (Oxon)

FIELD OF WORK: CIVIL LITIGATION

Essentially I am a litigator. Whilst I do advise on transactions, I am usually called upon when  a dispute has arisen or is about to arise. My aim is to identify with my clients the strengths and weaknesses of their position and the options and solutions available to them. Having identified with my clients their requirements, I am able to use the litigation process as a means of achieving those requirements be it through negotiation, mediation or trial.

I practised for nine years in London before moving to Norwich in 1991. Being based in Norwich, within the broad field of civil litigation I do not specialise in any particular area of substantive law. Instead, I continue to receive instructions (mostly from within East Anglia) in a wide variety of subject areas. I have the experience, the knowledge and the skills to provide a service in the broad range of civil litigation.

By way of indication, in addition to the core area of contract/commercial work, I act in the following subject areas: banking and mortgage (in particular, undue influence); contested probate (including Inheritance Act claims); trust work (including jointly-owned property, constructive and resulting trusts); restitutionary and tracing claims; land disputes (including restrictive covenants, boundaries and easements); professional negligence; building and construction; partnership and employment (including discrimination claims).

My practice inevitably includes a number of claims where allegations of fraud are made. In particular for 20 years I have acted for a major issuer of travellers' cheques, in connection with fraudulent claims. I also act regularly in connection with Freezing Orders and Search Orders.

I also work as a mediator. I trained with and I am accredited by ADR Chambers.

My senior clerk, Steve Collis, and I are always pleased to provide details of my fee rates; or to provide fee quotations, as required.
