Adam Gross

I specialise in property disputes, advising and litigating the full range of commercial and residential property and land disputes. For over 16 years, I have represented ultra-high-net worth and high net-worth individuals, private investors and small to medium size property companies. I am often instructed early on to discuss my clients’ commercial objectives, devise a strategy with them and then implement it, sometimes with litigation. I am often asked to advise on development issues such as restrictive covenants, rights to light, seeking possession from protected tenants and easements, as well as contested joint venture agreements and shareholder disputes. I enjoy being asked proactively to problem solve situations for my clients and the personal relationships that I have managed to develop with them. I also regularly assist clients to protect their property portfolios and, through this, have developed a deep understanding of a broad range of property management issues including possessions, arrears, dilapidations and contested consents. I represent clients in court, tribunals, arbitrations and adjudications and particularly enjoy engaging in complex settlement discussions, thinking laterally and sometimes outside of the main issues in dispute to find a commercially acceptable resolution to clients’ problems. The Fladgate personal approach to service and client base really appealed to me when I decided to move firms. It fits in identically with the way I like to act for clients, which presents a very exciting opportunity going forward. The firm already has an outstanding reputation in the market and I am delighted to have identified such a strong internal culture too. With that backdrop, there can only be even greater opportunities to deepen relationships as our clients’ trusted advisors. Outside of work I spend my time with wife and young family, and I am a keen runner. Having never run a marathon before, I took the opportunity to use lockdown to train for my first ultra-marathon, a 100km race from London to Brighton, to raise money for Alzheimer’s Research UK.

Adam Ziffer

Internationally known for his successful litigation and arbitration strategies, Adam Ziffer litigates for policyholders and counsels clients on some of the most cutting-edge, precedent-setting insurance coverage cases in trial and appellate courts nationwide, as well as in London and Bermuda arbitrations. His work includes privacy liability, employee dishonesty, first-party, errors and omissions, directors and officers, product liability, asbestos, environmental, and employment coverage matters. Notably, Adam won a significant ruling for Viacom Inc. (now Paramount Global), establishing that its insurers could not avoid covering a $122.5 million settlement of litigation stemming from the Viacom-CBS merger by relying on a “bump-up” exclusion. Following this decision, Adam won another significant ruling for Viacom, when the Delaware Superior Court ruled on summary judgment that earlier actions are not interrelated to the former Viacom shareholder class action filed following the merger of CBS and Viacom—favorably permitting Viacom to continue its pursuit of D&O insurance coverage.
