Craig Walker

A substantial part of his practice involves contentious general property and landlord and tenant matters for clients including major property owning and managing companies.

Craig’s approach to dispute resolution is to understand from the outset the client’s objectives, the resources available, and then to roll up his sleeves and work closely with the client to achieve the best result.

Craig is a member of the London Solicitors Litigation Association and the Property Litigation Association.

Having qualified at Goodman Derrick in 1991, Craig in his early career acted for Granada Television’s World in Action investigative current affairs programme in defending a number of high profile libel claims.
