Adrian G Stalker was a solicitor in private practice between 1992 and 1999, working in various types of civil litigation. From 1999 to 2006, he was Principal Solicitor for Shelter Scotland. He has an expertise in all aspects of housing law and mortgage repossessions. He is regularly instructed by housing associations, local authorities, banks and private landlords, as well as by defenders in eviction or mortgage repossession proceedings, or by homeless persons in judicial review cases.

His book Housing and Equality Law in Scotland was published by Shelter in 2019. Adrian writes a regular “Housing Law Update” column for SCOLAG.
