The UK property litigation market has seen its fair share of twists and turns since Covid struck. <em>IHL</em> asks Mishcon de Reya’s Joanna Lampert and Daniel Levy to scan the horizon for what’s to come.
‘The whole property industry would have been paralysed had most landlords and tenants not been able to navigate their way through it,’ says Joanna Lampert, Mishcon de Reya’s property litigation partner, reflecting on the impact of the pandemic.
Indeed, property litigators have had their work cut out in Covid times. In March 2020, transactions ground to a halt and supply chain issues plagued development projects. However, the biggest strain has arguably been on the relationships between commercial landlords and tenants.
