Property Litigation

Expertise and experience in property disputes in Wales and England

We are proud of the fact that our specialist property litigation team is ranked as a Tier 1 firm for property litigation in Wales by both the Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners independent guides to the legal profession. 

We are the only firm of solicitors in Wales to have two partners – Iwan Doull and Simon Care – who are both individually recognized and recommended as outstanding property litigators. 

Recognition from independent guides to the legal profession

The Legal 500 ranks us as Tier 1 in Wales, the 2026 guide referring to the team as being able to “cut through all of the noise of litigation to reach the main issues’, is “very knowledgeable and professional” and that “it is an excellent knowledgeable team with no nonsense”

The current (2026) edition states that the team is “consistently very strong in their responsiveness and professionalism…” and “are of high quality. They are knowledgeable and make good decisions and that the “team stand out for their diligence, confident reading of the situation, consideration and advice. One respondent stated that “If I had a personal property dispute, I would go to Berry Smith.”
