Harrison Drury has expanded its property litigation team with two new appointments.

The firm is pleased to announce that we have appointed Ros Monk as partner, while Luke Holden joins as associate solicitor.

Ros joins following over twelve years at Mishcon de Reya LLP and six years at Pinsent Masons LLP before that. Ros will be managing the team in Kendal and Lancaster. She specialises in real estate disputes and has extensive experience acting for a range of clients, from multinational companies and retail businesses to high-net-worth individuals and land owners.

Ros will be based at our Kendal office but will lead the provision of property litigation services across all of our northern offices and the surrounding region.

Luke is experienced in landlord and tenant matters within the private and public sectors, advising on issues such as lease renewals, non-payment of rent and service charge, forfeiture and the enforceability of positive and restrictive covenants. He also has experience of securing injunctions for landowners against trespassers and persons unknown.

Luke will be based at our Preston and Clitheroe offices and will be responsible for general property litigation matters, with a focus on landlord and tenant work within the hospitality and retail sectors.
