About
Fabian specialises in construction disputes, commercial disputes, and property and leasing disputes, particularly those disputes involving complex expert evidence.
Fabian’s experience includes:

Fabian’s practice spans both domestic and commercial construction disputes.
- Commercial Disputes: a broad commercial practice including acting in partnership disputes, disputes between company directors, equitable claims (such as misrepresentation and duress), insolvency disputes and international and domestic commercial arbitrations.
- Property & Leasing Disputes: appearing and advising in disputes regarding leases and licences, disposal and sales of property, removal of caveat proceedings, and adverse possession claims.
- Urgent injunctions: appearing in urgent injunctions in all jurisdictions, such as freezing orders, orders to prevent the transfer of property, to urgently abate property damage, to restrain the use of confidential information, and to prevent the calling upon of securities.
