About

Provided by A&L Goodbody

Our social housing team acts for some of the most prolific social housing landlords and bodies representing this area. The combined expertise of the five partners (covering Public & Regulatory, Litigation, Property and Finance) allows our social housing team to provide full service legal advice. This requires our team to have a broad range of knowledge & expertise in this area and to understand the market well.

Our clients come to us for our in-depth knowledge and quality of advice. A&L Goodbody are instructed in the complex and highly complicated social housing work. This differentiates us from our competitors in this area who would be more involved in the day-to-day advice provided to the social housing sector.

We assist our clients in producing innovative strategies to funding and delivering stock, ensuring that they remain compliant with their regulatory framework.
