Key changes and current affairs for Company Secretaries working in social housing
I am a housing management lawyer, specialising in non-contentious advice. I deal with all aspects relating to tenancy/licence agreement drafting and reviews (ensuring they comply with both regulatory and legal requirements), advising on rent reviews, reviewing and amending housing policies and procedures. I also have experience of advising on organisational wide CCTV policy advice, complaint handling (including to the Housing Ombudsman) and reviewing and advising on allocation, nomination, and management agreements.
Prior to my current role, I assisted Registered Providers with housing management litigation ranging from anti-social behaviour, breach of tenancy terms, advice regarding succession (and subsequent legal action) and unlawful eviction. I have also dealt with cases in the Court of Protection (based on hoarding), coroners inquests, tenancy fraud, unlawful eviction and committal proceedings (including in the High Court), Domestic Homicide Review advice (including liability and regulatory advice) and complex discrimination Equality Act proceedings, including alleged breach of the Public Sector Equality Duty.
I have worked within the Social Housing Sector for many years, including for tenants under a legal aid contract. I therefore bring a breadth of experience and awareness of challenges and concerns within the wider sector.
I was named as a Rising Star in Legal 500 in 2023 and 2024, and also as an Associate to watch in Chambers 2024.
