Geraint Wheatley is recognised as a leading junior in the 2021 legal directories, and has been ranked as such for a number of years.

His submissions were recently praised by the Court of Appeal as "excellent" in the important case of Thorpe v Frank [2019] EWCA Civ 150, in which he successfully appealed a decision of the Upper Tribunal concerning the proper limits of the law of adverse possession.

Geraint is an experienced chancery and commercial practitioner, combining an outstanding academic background with tactical awareness and an eye for detail.

At this time of uncertainty, with cases being adjourned and trials being postponed indefinitely, Geraint is aware of lay clients' concerns over certainty and cashflow.  He is keen to assist in the resolution of disputes via ADR.  He has the expertise to offer Early Neutral Evaluation, and has experience of providing independent Opinions on disputes (or specific issues within disputes) to help the parties to reach settlement.  Opinions/Determinations can be provided on a binding basis (where the parties agree between themselves to adhere to the Determination, for example, on a particular legal issue or point of construction) or an advisory basis, where Geraint's view can be taken away by both parties to assist with their own consideration of the merits and guide their settlement efforts.

His practice covers the full range of property and commercial litigation, as well as professional negligence.

He regularly acts in both the High and County Courts for institutional clients such as developers, banks and national limited companies. He has appeared a number of times before the Court of Appeal and the First Tier Tribunal: Property Chamber (formerly the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry).
