Jo also works closely with the firm’s professional negligence specialists in assisting clients with potential claims against former solicitors who have failed to advise or given incorrect advise in relation to a lease, ground rent or other enfranchisement issues. She is also part of the wider Property Litigation team that focusses on resolving issues between Landlords and Tenants, Management Companies and other third parties in the most effective way possible.

Outside of work, Jo is a keen runner, enjoys gardening and going abroad whenever she gets the chance.

Extremely impressed!
'I have been extremely impressed with Jo Ironside at Mayo Wynne Baxter. She is super responsive, helpful, fast to carry out work and accurate. She spent lots of time with me pre-formal engagement to help me to work out if I needed assistance. Actually on the first matter I asked her about I deferred but when I do extend my lease I won't hesitate to engage Jo. On other property matters we did engage Jo and she was fabulous. Exceeded our expectations and so we highly recommend her. Thank you Jo, you are a gem.'

JC - February 2021

The communication is outstanding. The people are personable and when a key member of staff is away or unavailable there is always a well informed deputy to answer any questions. It is a pleasure dealing with you. Jo Ironside and Rachel Woodbridge deserve special mention.
