Natalie Minott

Partner, Real Estate Disputes, Head of Cambridge Office


Why choose me

The variety and diversity of property litigations means that no two days are the same – I could be acting for a freeholder, an investor, a developer or a lessee in a dispute over commercial, residential or agricultural property.

In each case, I always aim to give practical and commercial advice – there is no point in offering clients a ‘grey’ answer which doesn’t help further their commercial objectives. My role is to balance risk, cost and commercial goals.

Questions my clients ask me

Unfortunately, the courts are overworked and understaffed – this means litigation often takes months or years to reach a conclusion.

The UK courts do not work on an indemnity basis; an award of that nature is rare and is subject to a high threshold. 60-70% of costs is a more usual costs recovery if you are successful.

Making strategically-timed offers will offer costs protection ahead of atrial and can also add tactical pressure to achieve a settlement.

Chambers and Partners – Natalie Minott

Natalie was always adamant that we had a good case and that we should pursue it; we are a charity funded mainly by donations, and with five staff to consider, we have to be careful with our outgoings. The charity would have gone bankrupt if it had had to pay what was claimed. She kept us informed at all stages and explained her recommendations and options well, highlighting the process for a successful outcome. She was excellent to work with and her professionalism left no room for any error as the outcome has shown. We are truly grateful for her leadership and absolute devotion to her work.
