We are thrilled to be recognized once again for our good quality housing and community care work by the Legal 500 legal directory.

In the Legal 500 our housing team is ranked in Tier 3 with six of our lawyers (Jacky Starling, Katie Brown, Jenny Hunt, Amanda Ford, Jenny Mansell, and Radhika Shah) recommended on an individual basis. We are noted as an “outstanding law firm with an excellent social housing team”. Our solicitors are “dedicated, intelligent, determined and empathetic”.

Referrers are quoted as saying:

‘Fee earners at this firm are extremely efficient, thorough, and dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome for their client group, who mainly consist of those who are socially disadvantaged.’

‘A large, well-resourced team, committed, hard-working and skilled at defending their legal aid clients.’

‘We often refer clients to TV Edwards because we know that they will receive a high quality service.’

‘We’ve worked with several different members of the housing team and we have confidence when referring to them that our clients have the best possible chance of success.’

Our individual lawyers also receive praise as follows:

‘Jenny Mansell is an exceptional solicitor. She is hard-working, intelligent, and very determined. She has particular experience in representing clients who lack capacity and is often instructed by the Official Solicitor. Katie Brown is a very well-respected solicitor with whom it is always a pleasure to work.’

‘Katie Brown is the head of the team and a well established lawyer providing high quality housing services in combination with community care. Jenny Hunt is a thorough and excellent solicitor who goes the extra mile for clients.

Radhika Shah is a rising star within the team and has an established track record of cases within the High Court in securing accommodation for homeless persons.’

‘Extremely efficient: the firm generally, but Amanda Ford and Radhika Shah in particular are the associate solicitors I work most closely with, and their efficiency is unrivalled.’

Our community care team is ranked in Tier 5 of the Administrative and Public Law category. We are noted as a “brilliant, strategic team” with referrers quoted as saying:

‘Legal knowledge and organisation are key skills. Compared to other firms, the level of interaction with the legal technicalities is superior and the quality of documents produced is high level.’

‘Brilliant team. Knowledgeable and strategic. Particularly good in cases involving mental incapacity.’
