Slee Blackwell Solicitors and TOLATA claims involving property ownership disputes.
Slee Blackwell Solicitors are highly experienced in dealing with TOLATA claims and are proud of their track record of success. Here are a few things that make Slee Blackwell stand out as the go-to solicitors in this specialised area of legal practice.
Civil litigation strength – not just family law
TOLATA claims (that is, claims brought under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996) are civil litigation cases rather than family law matters, and our civil litigation pedigree is one of our biggest assets.
Our litigation solicitors are highly experienced in dealing with complex evidence, witness issues, expert reports and trial strategy, all of which can play a crucial role in a TOLATA dispute.
National recognition and specialist expertise
Slee Blackwell is recommended by both Legal 500 and Chambers and is Lexcel accredited by the Law Society for excellence in client care.
These accolades provide a level of independent recognition that many firms cannot match and give clients reassurance that they are instructing an established and respected litigation practice.
Exceptional client feedback
The 1,800+ five-star reviews that Slee Blackwell has accumulated on the independent legal review website ReviewSolicitors are another major differentiator.
TOLATA cases often arise following relationship breakdowns, family disputes and other highly emotional circumstances. Our reputation for providing clear advice, practical guidance, and first-class client care is greatly valued by clients facing these challenging situations.
A proven track record in TOLATA litigation
The Slee Blackwell TOLATA team is proud of its track record of success.
Many cases are successfully resolved through negotiation or mediation. However, when court proceedings become necessary, clients can have confidence in our ability to fight their corner.
In those TOLATA claims that have proceeded to a fully contested trial, we have achieved a remarkable 100% success rate.
Among our TOLATA successes are:
- Ely v Robson (County Court and Court of Appeal)
- McLeod v McLeod
- Williams v Praine
- Smith v Fraser
- Fraser v Walker
Very few firms can point to successful TOLATA litigation in the Court of Appeal, making the reported case of Ely v Robson a particularly noteworthy achievement.
Expertise in related property disputes
Slee Blackwell handles a full range of property-related disputes, including:
- co-ownership disputes;
- inheritance-linked property claims;
- trust-related litigation;
- claims involving vulnerable clients; and
- disputes involving family members.
This wider experience is a significant advantage because TOLATA claims frequently overlap with trusts, estates and inheritance disputes, requiring a broader range of expertise than many firms can offer.
