A particular strength is the team’s ability to use well-known expertise in related areas such as environmental law, property damage, procurement and finance to offer clients comprehensive, multi-specialism property expertise.
Members appear in property matters at courts and tribunals of all levels. In addition to litigation, the team is regularly instructed to advise and draft in connection with non-contentious and transactional work. Members are also often instructed as part of a team for ADR, including arbitration, mediation and early neutral evaluations. The team includes arbitrators and mediators, as well as judges sitting part time in the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) and the County Court. The team as a whole benefits greatly from this insight.
Henderson Chambers’ client base is diverse, including national and local government, property developers, insurers, commercial landlords, estates, social landlords and private individuals. A number of members accept instructions on a public access basis.
