Local Government - London (Bar)
What the Team is Known For
Francis Taylor Building is noted for its representation of both claimants and local authorities in a wide range of local government matters. Areas of particular strength for the set's members include cases relating to local government finances and council tax, as well as complex public health, licensing and highways matters. The set's "very high calibre" team is regularly called upon to advise on ratings and land valuation matters and offers considerable expertise in relation to compulsory purchase orders and compensation. The set has recently been instructed by the Royal Borough of Kensington to defend the removal of a cycle lane down Kensington High Street.
Paul Coveney is the set's senior clerk.
