What the Team is Known For

Falcon Chambers is a market-leading real estate set that leverages its property law expertise into telecommunications sector disputes. Its barristers act in cases at the intersection of property law and telecoms, and regularly advise landowners and service providers with regard to the application of the new Electronic Communications Code. Their broad-based expertise encompasses cases relating to the installation of electronic communications apparatus, as well as matters concerning lease renewals and equipment allocations. Both silks and juniors frequently appear before the Upper Tribunal, as well as the Court of Appeal. One recent highlight for the set was Vodafone Ltd v Potting Shed Bar and Gardens Ltd (formerly known as Gencomp No.7 Ltd) and AP Wireless UK Ltd, a case on the interpretation of the Code and the ability of a landowner to terminate or renew an agreement.
