Calum MacNeill, QC, Westwater Advocates Stable Director, said: “We are very pleased to be teaming up with the Legal Services Agency in hosting this event. Housing law and practice has seen major change in recent years, and this change is set to continue. This seminar is extremely timely, and will be of relevance to legal practitioners working in the council, housing association, and private sectors in housing, as well as those representing tenants and landlords.”
