The following services are those in which we specialise. There are a number of areas in which we can also assist, so if your query doesn’t fall into one of these categories just give us a call. If we can’t help then we will be able to recommend someone who can.
We advise housing associations and other social landlords on all aspects of housing management and housing litigation. We know that housing management is much more than a 9–5 job for you. That's why we are on hand to offer support and practical guidance to our clients 24/7.
The law on property occupation and renting is not straightforward and even the more modern changes to the law do not come with ‘one-size-fits-all’ simplicity. Whether you’re a landlord of commercial or residential property, it can be easy to get tied up in knots when trying to navigate your way through the legislation.
For individuals and organisations, claimants and defendants, being involved in a legal dispute can be extremely stressful. Cobb Warren's expert solicitors are highly experienced civil litigators and are able to provide you with practical, commercial advice throughout each stage of the litigation process.
