• I am a housing management lawyer, specialising in non-contentious advice.

    I predominately assist registered providers of social housing (RPs), local authorities, higher education institutions, health trusts and charities.

    I deal with all aspects of housing management relating to tenancy/licence agreement drafting and reviews (ensuring they comply with both regulatory and legal requirements) and other related occupancy agreements, advising on rent reviews, reviewing and amending housing policies and procedures. I regularly advise on allocation, nomination, and management agreements along with service charge disputes and challenges within the First tier Tribunal. 

    I work closely with our governance team in providing assistance in respect of the Regulator of Social Housing consumer standards, including advice on the decent home standards, reasonable adjustments, mutual exchange, provision of accessible information, consultation requirements and supporting with complaints. 

    I regularly run training sessions relating to the impact following changes in legislation (including those proposed under the Renters (Rights) Bill) and the impact of changes to policies and procedures. 

    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), disrepair 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.
