We also provide advice on various day-to-day-property and land disputes, including disputes over agreements concerning land, rights of way, restrictive covenants, and trespass.



You will be joining a team that has in-depth knowledge, excellent technical and commercial skills, and a reputation as one of the top litigation teams in the Northwest.

We work collaboratively

with our colleagues, with all other departments referring into our team, many of whom have made the move to Napthens from international and national firms, and we have very strong relationships with a wide range of referrers and intermediaries whose clients turn to us when they need legal support. As you would expect and be reassured we have an excellent relationship with our large commercial property / real estate team resulting in mutual benefits and long standing clients.



At Napthens, the quality of our work and our clients speaks for itself.
