Team head Jennifer Butcher provides ‘commercial and sensible advice’ on conventional landlord and tenant disputes, as well as in litigation for management companies against developers and insurers regarding high-value latent defect claims. Butcher also handles a considerable amount of social housing-related work, as does Neil Morgan, whose expertise includes bringing claims relating to anti-social behaviour, as well as defending RSLs in disrepair actions.
