Brie Stevens-Hoare KC
‘Brie is fantastic on her feet. She has the ability to cut through rubbish and get to the core issues with speed.’
Gatehouse Chambers is highly regarded for its 'strong property knowledge', and garners praise from clients as 'a reliable destination for complex, high-value property work'. Brie Stevens-Hoare KC appeared for the claimant in Triplark Ltd v Whale and others, where the High Court ruled that a landlord's proposed renewal of a communal heating and hot water system was not within the landlord's repairing obligations as the works would increase the maintenance burden on tenants at the property. Jamal Demachkie 'has a razor sharp brain, is decisive with his advice and excellent on his feet'.
