What the Team is Known For

Francis Taylor Building is noted for its representation of both claimants and local authorities in a wide range of local government matters. Areas of particular strength for the set's members include cases relating to local government finances and council tax, as well as complex public health, licensing and highways matters. The set's "highly skilled barristers" with "clear sector focus and expertise" are regularly called upon to advise on ratings and land valuation matters and offer considerable expertise in relation to compulsory purchase orders and compensation. The set recently advised Southwark LBC and its development partner on the compulsory purchase order for the Elephant & Castle shopping centre redevelopment.

Paul Coveney is the set's senior clerk.
