When things go wrong in your everyday life the effects can be devastating. Our team of specialist lawyers is renowned for challenging decisions in those areas which affect ordinary day-to-day life. These include decisions made by council housing departments, planning departments, social services and education authorities.
We act for council and housing association tenants, leaseholders, private tenants and the homeless to rectify housing issues. We assist people with a wide range of needs and from all cultural backgrounds and we can help you challenge large organisations such as the local council.
Our lawyers offer expertise in all areas of housing, public law & human rights including:
- housing matters / disrepair / possession / homelessness
- leasehold interest / service charges / right to manage / enfranchisement / lease extensions
- social welfare / challenges to local authority decisions
We have a contract with the Legal Services Commission to provide housing law in the London Borough of Southwark as part of a consortium. That means that we can ask our consortium partners to provide our clients with welfare benefits and debt advice should they need it. Our consortium partners are:
- Bermondsey Citizen's Advice Bureau
- Blackfriars Advice Centre
- Cambridge House Law Centre
- Pierce Glynn
- Southwark Law Centre.
The consortium is part of Anthony Gold's commitment to providing a seamless service to our clients.
Anthony Gold is also proud to be part of the Southwark Legal Advice Network ("SLAN"), working in partnership with other agencies to provide high quality advice across the borough.
Anthony Gold's Housing Law & Public Law team is recommended in the leading legal directories. Chambers 2012 recommends the team for its social housing: tenants work. The Legal 500 says "Anthony Gold's first-rate team challenges the boundaries for its clients, with excellent results".
