Following the closure of Zenith Chambers in February 2020, Vilma Vodanovic and Peter Marcus joined the team at Trinity Chambers adding to their new set's expertise and strength in depth in the housing and property fields. Members of the team are capable of acting on either side in landlord and tenant matters, including possession claims, disrepair, and anti-social behaviour claims. In recent work of note, Helen Greatorex acted for Leeds City Council in its application for a pre-emptive injunction against persons unknown in order to prevent travellers from making temporary camps on areas of local authority land.
