I am a Partner in the Firm’s Dispute Resolution Team based at the Firm’s dedicated commercial office on Gadbrook Park, Northwich. I advise and assist both businesses and individuals in resolving disputes.

I studied Jurisprudence (Law) at the University of Oxford and then completed the Legal Practice Course at the University of Birmingham. I was admitted as a Solicitor in 1996.

My aim is to understand at the outset my clients’ commercial aims and to determine early on how best to achieve them. My focus is on achieving practical commercial solutions for my clients through whichever means of dispute resolution is most appropriate in the circumstances.

I have experience in a broad range of litigation and dispute resolution, including:

  • complex commercial and contractual disputes
  • partnership disputes and director/shareholder disputes, including minority shareholder unfair prejudice claims
  • probate and estate disputes, including claims under the Inheritance Act 1975
  • construction litigation, including adjudication
  • professional negligence claims, including claims against solicitors, accountants, architects and surveyors
  • commercial and residential landlord/tenant issues
  • injunctions
  • litigation in the county courts, the High Court (including the Technology & Construction Court and the Business & Property Courts), the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court
  • claims against directors arising from corporate insolvency, including alleged breaches of the Company Act and the Insolvency Act

I also have wide experience of various forms of alternative dispute resolution, including mediation and expert determination.

    Very professional and responsive. Answered all questions promptly.

    I recently sought advice from Butcher & Barlow in a complex contractual dispute with a tenant who was arrears. I cannot recommend Butcher & Barlow's service's highly enough for this type of issue. I particularly value timely advice. Mark Turner was available immediately to help relieve my concerns. He demonstrated a thorough understanding of the facts and provided an insightful, strategic approach that put me at ease. I received a practical, client focused professional service.

    Andrew

    Excellent service, highly recommend. Mark has been extremely knowledgeable regarding eviction matters and understanding throughout the whole process. He responded to all my queries instantly and at no point was I in the dark about what the next stages were and how long actions would take. He remained in contact throughout. He has been an excellent Solicitor to work with and would highly recommend to anyone experiencing any issues with tenants and eviction proceedings.

    I recently engaged Mark Turner to handle two litigation cases. Both cases were concluded to my complete satisfaction and without having to go to court. One of the cases involved the recovery of a substantial amount of money. I was very impressed with Mark's professional attitude throughout and timely response to issues as they developed. I will have no hesitation in using Mark again if needed, and can thoroughly recommend his services.
