Cross-Over Expertise
Housing Law cases can often also raise aspects of trusts, immigration and asylum support, family law, welfare benefits, disability, community care and local government law. As part of a multi-disciplinary set we are well placed to advise on these other issues related to housing. Thanks to our friendly team-based approach, we regularly call upon the experience of our colleagues in Chambers who specialise in these areas.
