housing associations

Our dedicated Social Housing Group consists of lawyers from each of the core business areas. This enables focused advice to be given to our clients which takes into consideration the particular needs of the social housing sector. In providing such advice, we are particularly conscious of the importance of the relationship between Registered Social Landlords and the Welsh Ministers in Wales and the Registered Social Landlords and the Tenant Services Authority and the Homes and Communities Agency in England.

Our expertise is recognised by our presence as a first tier firm in the Legal 500 and a Band 1 firm in Chambers & Partners which states that the Social Housing Group ‘is esteemed for its consistent quality’.

With the arrival of a recession and a coalition government who assure us that they recognise that social housing is a key frontline service, the social housing sector as a whole continues to evolve and it is very likely that more changes are to come! In order to assist we provide regular update bulletins, free seminars and workshops which can be tailored to accommodate areas of specific interest. Recent topics include Board Members’ Duties and Responsibilities, The Government of Wales Act 2006 – the Essentials, The Procurement Regime and how it affects housing associations.

Should you have any queries, require assistance, wish to attend any of our free seminars or workshops or to be added to our mailing list please do not hesitate to contact a member of our Social Housing Group.
