Ben Frost is a Partner and accredited Mediator in the firm’s commercial and property litigation team. The Legal 500 has recognised the team as being “technically brilliant. I feel that I have the full force of the team when they act for me. Very few firms bring such a collaborative approach, where you feel that they are an extension of your own team. They understand that I need to make commercial decisions, and they have that at the forefront of everything they do”. Ben has also been individually recognised by The Legal 500 as a Recommended Lawyer.
Ben has experience in a wide variety of disputes including work in the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal, the High Court, emergency High Court injunctions, Property Tribunals, and County Court.
Ben’s specialisms in property litigation include dealing with commercial and residential lease extensions, leasehold enfranchisement, landlord and tenant disputes, possession proceedings, boundary disputes, adverse possession, forfeiture, and construction adjudication.
In commercial litigation, Ben specifically deals with debt recovery/insolvency in relation to winding-up petitions and bankruptcy petitions. He also deals more widely with company/partnership disputes, contract disputes, misrepresentation, and unfair prejudice petitions.
In his role as mediator, Ben can be instructed to attempt to settle disputes at a confidential mediation which has the benefit of saving time, costs, emotional distress, and reputation. This is an emerging alternative dispute resolution method and should be considered at the earliest stage possible in any dispute.
Outside of work, Ben is a keen sportsman, taking part in football and running. Ben has run the London marathon for charity in the past.
