Colm is a Partner in our Dispute Resolution team and advises on various types of commercial disputes. However, he specialises in property litigation and landlord & tenant disputes.
In addition to traditional litigation, Colm also regularly acts in mediations and arbitrations.
Given his specialist area, Colm acts for a wide range of property clients including financial institutions, retailers, corporate occupiers, commercial developers and institutional landlords.
Colm provides strategic advice and risk analysis on issues such as adverse possession, trespass, boundary and right of way disputes, break options, dilapidations, service charge and rent arrears, forfeiture and contested lease renewals.
For our institutional residential landlord clients, Colm regularly deals with the Residential Tenancies Board, both at first instance and appeal. This includes issues such as breach of obligations, anti-social behaviour, arrears of rent, renewal rights, deposit disputes and terminations.
