Social Housing - London (Bar)
Individual Editorial
Iain Colville primarily handles housing cases and homelessness appeals on behalf of public authorities and individual applicants, and is also widely experienced in landlord and tenant litigation, including possession proceedings. He is regularly instructed in cases in the lower and higher courts, and has made several appearances in the Supreme Court. His complementary knowledge of the wider aspects of local government renders him a formidable opponent. His experience of housing matters also extends to cases that concern houseboats.
Strengths
Iain is a formidable advocate and a go-to name in homelessness.
He is able to identify the salient points quickly and pick up a case quickly.
