Ranking tables

Social Housing | UK

The South

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), anti-social 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 which focus exclusively on the financing of social housing developments and those which solely represent social housing tenants.
