Natasha is a methodical thinker who prepares thoroughly for trial. On her feet she is fast, but particularly comes into her own in closing arguments.  Her written work is also very thorough but most importantly when working together on a matter, she is always available to talk something over on the phone.”

The Legal 500 2024, Chancery, Probate and Tax

Natasha is ranked as a leading junior in chancery by the Legal 500 and Chambers UK.  She has dealt with a wide range of proprietary estoppel matters including the typical disputes over real property (residential, commercial and agricultural) as well as more complex disputes concerning other types of property such as company shares, business interests and pensions.

Natasha also wrote an article for the Trusts and Estates Law & Tax Journal concerning the Supreme Court decision in Guest v Guest [2022] UKSC 27.

Some examples of Natasha’s experience are:

  • A dispute concerning beneficial interests in a property where the legal owner was a Guernsey registered company and the alleged beneficial owners had been subjected to numerous bankruptcies.
  • A proprietary estoppel claim concerning beneficial interests in two properties listed for a 6 day trial.
  • A proprietary estoppel claim based on an express promise by a deceased promisor, and alternatively acquiescence, in relation to a farm containing a property which was subject to an agricultural tie.

  • Acting for the trustee in bankruptcy in proceedings before the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber), Land Registration Division.

  • A proprietary estoppel, constructive trust and resulting trust claim where both proprietors had died resulting in two warring estates.
