I am often instructed in probate, inheritance and trust disputes, including 1975 Inheritance Act claims and TOLATA claims.
My approach
I will always strive to achieve your objectives while providing clear and frank advice. I am responsive and usually complete work within 48-hours.
My work
My work has included a case where the defendants were alleged to have breached their fiduciary duties as executors and trustees to the estate. I am regularly asked to advise on proposed claims, including in relation to professional negligence and restitution. In particular, I have advised on the merits of applying to the Supreme Court for permission to appeal in a wills case. I have successfully brought and defended bankruptcy petitions and have advised clients on whether they have grounds to set aside a statutory demand.
About me
I am regularly instructed in commercial, property and divorce cases. My work includes breaches of contract, landlord & tenant litigation, and complex disputes over real estate. I frequently appear in the County Court as well as the Senior Courts and have won multiple appeals. Outside of practice, I lecture on cruises about history.
What my clients say
“I have had the pleasure of working with Alexander on 3 recent cases. I have found him to be thorough in his case preparation, able to effectively research difficult areas of law and approachable but firm when advising clients.”
“I have not only found Mr Bunzl to be professional, extremely knowledgeable and patient but I have also found him to be a very pleasant person to whom I will have no qualms with instructing in the future.”
“Mr Bunzl’s approach is very client focused, and this has resulted in excellent outcomes and satisfied clients. He takes the time to understand the instructions and goes above and beyond to ensure we are kept updated throughout the case.”
