A property disputes lawyer on call, before problems become disputes

For landlords, property investors and owner-led businesses with commercial property. A monthly retainer gives you direct access to me for the questions that, handled early, never become claims.

Common questions

What counts towards my hours?

Calls, emails, and reviewing leases, notices and letters for you. Unused hours do not roll over.

What happens if a dispute starts?

I can act for you in the dispute through Arch Law. Litigation is quoted separately, and Priority clients are dealt with first.

Can I start with a one-off review instead?

Yes. A fixed-fee commercial lease review is a good first step, and the fee can be credited against a retainer started within 30 days.

"Simone is such a great advisor to have on retainer, it's likely you won't need her advice everyday but in those moments when you do, she can help you navigate stress and confusion with a legal, practical and ethical mindset. Simone has a legal background with an entrepreneur's energy - the perfect balance for sound business advice - getting her on retainer saved unnecessary worry and business costs."
