What the Team is Known For
42 Bedford Row is a well-respected set with strong expertise in social housing. The social housing team advises local authorities, housing associations, social landlords and private individuals. The barristers work on a wide range of housing mandates, including disrepair, antisocial behaviour, homelessness and allocation issues, and possession and eviction proceedings. A market source says: "42BR Barristers has a good range of barristers that are very knowledgeable with a good skill set." Another states that the members take an "incredibly analytical, thought-based approach in progressing a case." A particular work highlight for the year is Richmond Housing Partnership v Caleeb Yakub-Hughes, a mandatory possession proceedings.
Stuart Ritchie is the senior practice manager.
