What the Team is Known For
11KBW maintains its reputation as a go-to chambers for judicial review proceedings and the most complex and high-profile local authority cases. It houses a strong bench of barristers experienced in the representation of individual claimants, corporate clients, and local and central government bodies. The team's particular strengths lie in local government powers, education, social services and procurement, and its members regularly tackle cases involving local authority finances and budgeting issues. Sources highlight its "experts across the board in the local government sector", while the quality of members and experience is praised as "second to none". A recent case saw members advising Nottingham City Council on legal issues including vires, procurement and housing relating to its district heat network.
