Social Housing - London (Bar)
Individual Editorial
Connor Johnston is a recognised housing and homelessness specialist with a growing reputation for technically complex possession cases and judicial review. He continues to be committed to publicly funded social housing work and is known for producing an impressive amount of written work on the subject. He is co-author of 'Housing Allocation and Homelessness'. He attracts praise for his skills in representing vulnerable tenants and applicants, many of whom lack capacity.
Strengths
Connor is my number one choice of barrister in housing work. He is a pleasure to work with. He is very intelligent and knows the law inside out.
Connor is a leading light in housing law. He leaves no stone unturned to achieve the best outcome for those we assist.
