Park Square Barristers features the full strengths of ‘a range of counsel, from very experienced to very junior’ in a broad social housing and property team, which leads on instructions from both local authorites and social landlords as well as tenants on sensitive matters. Christopher Rafferty and Christopher Machin are experts on the provisions of the Housing Act 1988, Human Rights Act 1998 and the Equality Act, representing tenants facing evictions and possession claims relating to anti-social behaviour, criminal activity and rental arrears, and Kelly Cronin leads on a broad array of cases for social housing providers and tenants alike. The depth of the set is illustrated by a range of barristers with focused practices, with Sophie Phillips leading for tenants on appeals under s.204 of the Housing Act.
