About
Hi I'm Simone Ritchie
20 years in property litigation has taught me this: the most expensive legal mistake isn’t losing a case — it’s starting the wrong one.
I trained and worked in leading UK City law firms, spending over a decade at BigLaw level on complex property disputes. As a part-owner and Head of Department managing a 25-strong team, I learned how to balance legal risk with commercial realities — guiding boards, landlords, and investors through high-stakes decisions.
For the last seven years, I’ve built and run my own legal consultancy, which means I understand first-hand the pressures of running a business and the need for clear, actionable advice.
Today, I act as your Strategic Legal Advisor, combining two decades of litigation experience with a business-owner mindset to help you:
• Prevent costly disputes before they escalate
• Make confident commercial decisions with clarity
• Strengthen your negotiating position and protect portfolio value
Whether you’re an SME, portfolio landlord, or board-level decision-maker, think of me as your litigation compass — you stay in control, I keep you on the strongest path.
