Mark Robertson

Mark is the head of George Ide LLP’s Dispute Resolution team and deals with civil disputes to help both businesses and individuals navigate a wide range of issues.

An experienced dispute resolution lawyer, Mark is familiar with County Court and High Court matters as well as specialist tribunals such as the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber). Previously a senior solicitor at several Legal 500-ranked firms based in both Hampshire and Surrey, Mark understands his clients’ objectives and advises on the best route available, whether through the court or alternative forms of dispute resolution such as mediation and arbitration.

An active listener with an eye for detail, Mark takes a pragmatic and commercial approach, enabling him to regularly deliver early and effective settlements that achieve his clients’ aims.

Mark’s work includes disputes over property (such as landlord and tenant, possession claims, forfeiture, lease renewals, commercial rent recovery, dilapidation claims, breach of restrictive covenants, trespass, private nuisance, rights of way, boundary disputes, adverse possession, co-habitation and trusts of land claims); commercial disputes (such as contractual disputes, shareholder disputes and general debt recovery, as well as personal and corporate insolvency proceedings) and contentious probate (such as disputes about Wills, trusts or how a person’s estate is administered).

Mark also specialises in complex and high-value professional negligence claims for clients who have been let down by their professionals such as solicitors, surveyors, architects and accountants. The Legal 500 UK, one of the country’s leading independent legal directories, describes Mark “as an expert in professional negligence matters”.
