Laura Odlind

Spear’s Review

A partner in Mishcon De Reya’s real estate dispute resolution group, Laura Odlind acts for HNWs, landed estates, property-owning companies, large corporate occupiers and retailers. She frequently advises on commercial landlord and tenant issues, including consents, business lease renewals, dilapidations, rent arrears recovery and service charge disputes. 

She tells Spear's that she's noticed an increase in disputes over the early months of 2024, particularly between landlords and tenants. 'People are coming back to their homes after leaving them for several years due to the pandemic,' she says. 'Landlords are coming back to find disputes need to be raised with tenants and property managers.'

Recent cases of note include acting for a landlord of a high-end second homes development in a complex service charge dispute and successfully obtaining an injunction and damages for a HNWI in a trespass action.
