Social Housing | UK

Northern Ireland

These rankings cover lawyers who act for either the providers or consumers of social housing. This can comprise corporate work (such as governance and joint ventures including housing stock transfers), antisocial behaviour matters, construction or redevelopment financing, property issues, or defending social housing tenants against legal proceedings brought by the providers. We have separate ranking tables available for law firms that focus exclusively on the financing of social housing developments and those that solely represent social housing tenants.
