Isabella Mason

I am a solicitor working in a hybrid role across our Commercial Property and Property Litigation departments. I completed my training contract with Taylor Walton and qualified in March 2023.

I specialise in transactional and contentious Commercial Property matters, which places me in a unique position to advise clients whose property matters overlap in the remit of the transactional and litigation departments. I also have experience in residential property litigation matters.

Commercial Property

On the transactional side I have experience acting for clients in a range of matters including:

• Property acquisitions and disposals (freehold and leasehold)
• 1954 Act Renewals acting for landlords and tenants
• Licences
• Deeds of Covenant
• General landlord and tenant matters
• Restrictive Covenants

Property Litigation

With regards to litigation I have experience in a range of contentious and non-contentious issues including:

• 1954 Act lease renewals
• Dilapidations
• Misrepresentation
• Restrictive covenants
• Possession/forfeiture claims and relief from forfeiture
• Breaches of lease
• Advising landlords in the case of tenant insolvency
• Recovery of rent arrears and service charges.

I work for a range of commercial clients including, a charity, private individuals, limited companies and PLCs and residential clients. I have conducted litigation in the County Court and the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber).

My transactional experience enables me to provide pragmatic commercial advice in contentious matters.  I assess the merits of a case from initial instruction to conclusion, whilst keeping commerciality in mind.

I offer practical and straightforward advice and I can adapt my advice quickly to changing circumstances for clients.

I work closely with clients and junior Counsel to reach a common goal for the client in property matters, whether contentious or non-contentious.

I am also a member of the Property Litigation Association, an organisation specialised in all aspects of commercial, residential and agricultural property litigation.

I joined Taylor Walton in 2020.
