Charlie is an Associate in the Commercial Litigation team at Trethowans. He specialises in advising both corporate and private clients on business and commercial disputes. He is committed to putting his clients’ specific aims and interests first, working closely with them to achieve their goals.
Notable work highlights
- Successfully defending claims brought against my clients, by the sellers of plots of lands, for breach of overage covenants that, if found to be enforceable, would have resulted in a total liability in excess of £5,000,000.
- Representing a business client from pre-action correspondence all the way through to a final hearing in a case where the client’s landlord had illegally disconnected its electricity supply. The claim was ultimately settled, following trial, in a result that saw our client recover £150,000 in damages, injunctive relief preventing future interference with the electricity supply, and recovery of its costs.
- Acting for a liquidator client in a claim against a bank for conversion/wrongful interference with goods arising from the bank wrongly processing a cheque for £240,000 in favour of a rogue trader, despite it being addressed to our client. The claim was eventually settled at a damages figure higher than the underlying sum being claimed.
