Paul Burkinshaw

Partner

0113 336 3350

A partner within our dispute resolution team and working predominantly across the North of England and UK wide, Paul is a very experienced commercial litigator specialising in property and construction litigation.

“Finding yourself within a dispute is never comfortable, finding the right way to tackle the issues and achieve the best possible outcome is the key and in the most efficient and effective way possible. I see my role as my clients’ supporter and trusted legal advisor, dealing with often complex matters at what can be a very stressful time for them.

“I don’t dance around difficult issues - calm, commercially focused and highly practical my job is to achieve my clients’ aims through a range of options including mediation, expert determination, adjudication or arbitration. A member of the Property Litigation Association, I work across the full range of property disputes, including land tribunals and leasehold tribunal work, fostering long-term client relationships and collaborative professional partnerships, both within Clarion and wider.
