Jeremy Ferris—Furley Page

New senior associate for DR team

Furley Page has appointed Jeremy Ferris as a senior associate. Jeremy has wide-ranging experience of many aspects of litigation, including contested trust and probate actions, and he advises clients on claims arising out of wills or intestacy. He also has a strong interest in disputes arising out of property and was a qualified chartered surveyor in government and private practice for eight years before retraining as a solicitor. Jeremy is a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and the Property Litigation Association.

Peter Hawkes, senior partner and head of the dispute resolution team at Furley Page, says: “Jeremy’s experience in the area of disputed wills is second to none, while his background as a chartered surveyor makes him one of the foremost experts in resolving property disputes. Our clients are sure to benefit greatly from Jeremy’s skills in these areas.”
