Our barristers also have a strong record in challenging and defending local authority decisions, including in relation to austerity cuts, conflicts between cuts and statutory duties, and developments in the law of consultation and proportionality.
Other areas of expertise include education, special educational needs and EHC assessments and plans, housing and homelessness.
