Individual Editorial
Toby Vanhegan is a talented junior who is highly thought of for his innovative approach. He is sought after by both landlords and tenants, and demonstrates particular strength in housing cases containing human rights or immigration elements. In addition, he has a niche practice acting for occupiers in challenges to lawfulness regarding their exclusion from secure tenure. He has further strengths in matters concerning anti-social behaviour, nuisance claims and rent arrears. His sterling practice regularly sees him appearing before the High Court, the Court of Appeal and the ECtHR.
Strengths
His advocacy is a pleasure to watch. He is kind and understanding of our vulnerable clients. He wants to achieve good results for them and is very approachable.
An exceptional barrister with an ability to respond to last minute instructions with the same level of attention to detail and skill as he does with a week's notice.
Toby has extremely specialist knowledge especially to homelessness matters.
Incredibly responsive and great under pressure.
