Social housing

Leading Silks

KCs at the very top of their field, with a long-established record of market-defining cases, and widespread endorsement from clients and peers. All silks appointed in the last two rounds are listed further below.

Ranjit Bhose KC

Cornerstone Barristers

He gives very sound and clear advice and is very good with clients in consultation, rarely, if ever, misunderstood. He does not stand on his dignity as a silk and is very accommodating, not least in the format of instructions. Advocacy style is understated and more effective for that.

Nicholas Grundy KC

Nick is a superlative advocate with an encyclopedic knowledge of housing law. He is loved by solicitors in my team and clients alike for his approachability, team approach, and sheer unquestionable ability. He instills confidence in whatever work he is instructed on and is the first port of call in all complex housing matters. It is very difficult to better his skill and ability.

Martin Westgate KC

Doughty Street Chambers

He is the best housing barrister.

Justin Bates KC

Landmark Chambers

Justin is extremely personable; he is very popular with clients because he has the ability to convey even highly complex legal concepts in a clear and accessible way. He is realistic about the prospects of success, which helps to manage clients' expectations. He works quickly and efficiently. He is an excellent advocate with both strong oral and written skills.

Kuljit Bhogal KC

Cornerstone Barristers

Extremely thorough in her preparation and a very clear and persuasive advocate. A real expert in social housing.

Jamie Burton KC

Doughty Street Chambers

A creative and quick thinker, highly experienced and committed.

Iris Ferber KC

42BR Barristers

Able to give clear and incisive advice in complex proceedings and provide new perspectives. It is a pleasure to work with her.

Kelvin Rutledge KC

Cornerstone Barristers

One of the most compelling advocates I have ever encountered. The quality of his submissions is always assured, authoritative, and apposite. His mastery of social housing law (also administrative and human rights law) is unparalleled.

Ian Wise KC

Monckton Chambers
