Testimonials

‘Bindmans is definitely a market leader in housing law. They would be my first choice nationally for the hard stuff.’
‘Emma Pein is outstanding. Talented, dedicated, and excellent with clients. She is second-to-none.’
‘Christian Hansen is a brilliant housing lawyer who specialises in complex civil claims. Paul Ridge is a veteran in the space and has represented the Grenfell Tower victims exceptionally well.'
‘Bindmans has a small but excellent team of solicitors. They have been embedded in the Grenfell Inquiry for some time, but also have expertise in possession and homelessness claims, often involving clients with mental health or mental capacity or care issues, in addition to their immediate housing issue.’
‘Paul Ridge is a brilliant solicitor who heads up the team. He is immensely experienced in all areas of housing practice with expertise with clients in mental health crises.'
- 'Will Whitaker is an excellent solicitor who has expertise with housing possession cases involving Court of Protection cross-over work where tenants lack capacity to litigate and make decisions on where to live. He is regularly instructed by the Official Solicitor.'
‘Bindmans deliver a first-rate service that puts high-quality professionalism at its core.’
