Partner, Head of Dispute Resolution Department
David Pritchard is head of our commercial litigation and dispute resolution department.
He deals with a broad portfolio of cases and his areas of practice include:
- contract/commercial;
- construction;
- property litigation;
- landlord & tenant;
- civil fraud;
- contentious/non-contentious insolvency matters (including bankruptcy/winding-up);
- ADR;
- enforcement.
David has over fifteen years’ experience bringing and defending claims on behalf of corporate clients, individuals and insolvency practitioners, ranging from small-claims County Court matters right through to complex multi-track High Court litigation and appeals. David has enjoyed many successes at Trial and is a pragmatic operator with a keen commercial approach where the situation demands, having a proven track-record of settling difficult claims which are often challenging and emotive. In the normally stressful process of litigation, David is a calming and reassuring influence who will work tirelessly to ensure his clients’ interests are protected.
Outside of the office, David enjoys rugby, squash and boxing (a fighter, even in his spare time). When he is not looking after his three young children, David is also a gigging-guitarist.
