Our work includes:

- Possession proceedings
- Judicial review
- Unlawful eviction
- ASBOs and ASBIs
- Issues involving the Travellers

- Proceedings under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954.
We fully appreciate that housing matters can require urgent attention, and we are happy to provide advice on the telephone or urgent written advice if required. Our barristers regularly appear in courts and tribunals, and we will assist you at all stages of the process from emergency applications through to appeals.
At College Chambers we pride ourselves on our multidisciplinary approach, and therefore on those occasions where there are concurrent family, criminal, immigration or benefits matters, we are able to offer appropriate barristers to maintain continuity.
