Jack is a Trainee Solicitor sitting his second seat with the Property Litigation team in Exeter. He acts on a broad range of contentious property matters, including commercial and residential landlord and tenant disputes, adverse possession, boundary and rights of way issues, and enforcement of covenants.
Clients working with Jack can expect a high level of professionalism combined with a pragmatic, solutions-focused approach. He understands that litigation is rarely a clients first choice and is committed to resolving disputes in a commercially sensible manner, exploring alternative dispute resolution methods wherever possible.
Prior to starting his Training Contract, Jack worked as a Paralegal with Tozers’ Litigation & Employment team, where he assisted with contentious probate matters in particular. He also spent his first seat with Tozers’ Wealth Management team in Teignmouth, assisting with all aspects of estate administration and preparing Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs). Drawing on this background, Jack is well-equipped to advise his clients on potential claims that could arise against their estate and aspires to qualify into our specialist Inheritance and Trust Disputes Team at the end of his Training Contact.
Jack holds an Upper Second-Class Honours degree in Law from the University of Exeter, and recently completed his LPC LLM in Professional Legal Practice achieving a Distinction.
During his time at university, Jack volunteered at the University of Exeter Access to Justice Clinic - a pro bono legal advice centre which provides legal support to the local community. He is also listed as part of the 'Pathways to Law Alumni', a charity dedicated to supporting students from underrepresented backgrounds in pursuing higher education and careers in law. Jack is very passionate about promoting diversity and inclusion across the legal field and endeavours to continue this passion whilst working at Tozers. He is particularly excited to be involved with Tozers’ ED&I Network, which focuses on promoting and fostering a more inclusive and equitable environment for our colleagues and clients alike.
Outside of the office, Jack enjoys travelling, spending quality time with family and friends, and is a keen gym goer.
