Andrew Cochrane

“Flint Bishop has a well-respected property litigation practice, which is led by Qamer Ghafoor. It generates a large volume of high-value and complex work, which includes dilapidations claims, issues arising from lease renewals, easements, restrictive covenants and beneficial interest claims, among many other areas. Ghafoor handles a broad-cross section of cases and has a particular interest in emergency remedies proceedings and property-related negligence claims. Nick Wells and Andrew Cochrane are noted for their experience of acting for clients in the licensed trade sector; Wells, in particular, is increasingly being sought-out for advice on matters connected with the new statutory Pubs Code. Senior associate Jo Milward-Hyde has also developed a specialism in the licensed trade industry and, in addition, she has developed a new offering in relation to estates management. Lorna Trueman is also heavily involved in property litigation matters.”

“Flint Bishop handles licensing matters on behalf of a wide range of clients with a particular focus on pubs and hotels. The group undertakes ordinary and expedited license reviews, major and minor premises license variations and transfer changes. The highly recommended Andrew Cochrane serves as practice head and his team also counts clubs, off-licenses and restaurants among its client roster.”
