Daniel Couchman, Director & Supervisor of Solicitors
Commercial and Litigation
“Over the course of my business career I have had need to use a number of law firms, including some from the so-called Magic-Circle. All of whom seemed more focused on fees rather than the matter in hand. Naturally I became somewhat jaundiced about lawyers until I was introduced to Couchman Hanson. Their senior partner, Daniel Couchman, consistently went above and beyond on every occasion. To me the term City lawyer is now just a location not a qualification. I will keep my business with Couchman Hanson going forward.”
Malcolm Harvey, Chief Executive Officer | Qlaims Limited
Daniel is the Founder and a Director of Couchman Hanson Solicitors. He has more than 16 years' experience in commercial litigation, employment and company commercial work, specialising in complex shareholder and directorial disputes. Prior to qualification Daniel worked for several years in Treasury and Banking and he has used that commercial experience to help hundreds of businesses, shareholders, directors, executives and employees.
Daniel was ‘called to the bar’ as a barrister in 2003 and took dual qualification practising as a solicitor from 2008. He remains a Solicitor Advocate making appearances in Court when necessary. He has studied at Brunel University (BSc (Hons)), The College of Law (PGDL) and BPP Law School (BVC). He has been a member of Gray’s Inn since 2003.
Daniel is an approachable yet dogged and tactical litigator, he enjoys complex commercial disputes (often with overlapping elements of shareholder, directorial, employment and commercial law) and has a successful track record in ‘getting clients out of deep holes’.
"Hiring Daniel is possibly the wisest decision you’ll make this year. In a time of great personal anguish Daniel employed his very considerable knowledge and expertise to successfully shield and defend myself and my family from an unjustified legal offensive following a commercial dispute. We’re among those clients he successfully helped ‘get out of a deep hole’. In engaging Daniel you have the assurance of a lawyer who acts for you with the same commitment and determination as he would if acting for his own mother." Nick Hayward
“Going through a company sale process is never easy, it is especially challenging when a business is spun off in an open market bid, which was my recent experience. Having been recommended to Couchman Hanson Solicitors by an industry colleague I found their diligence and expertise in contract negotiation and employment law ensured any pitfalls and sleepless nights were kept to a minimum and at all times, over many months, felt I was a priority and professionally advised. I would not hesitate to recommend Daniel and his team to others requiring similar support.” David Taylor
