I am a specialist Housing Management solicitor. I have experience with working with organisations of all sizes from smaller mental health charities to large Registered Providers of Social Housing and Local Authorities. I also work with those landlords in the Private Rented Sector including providers of accommodation in the Higher Education Sector.
I have a particular interest in working with Supported Housing Providers often within the context of providing advice involving a tenant or licensee with a complex psychiatric history.
I am instructed to advise on a wide spectrum of Housing Management issues but particularly those cases involving serious anti-social behaviour requiring urgent injunction applications under Part 1 Anti-Social Crime and Policing Act 2014, issues revolving around a complex mental health history, tenancy fraud and hoarding cases.
I frequently appear for clients as an advocate in County Court proceedings and provide in-person and online training.
