An ’excellent’ set, Garden Court Chambers’ team of silks and juniors continue to make ‘a significant contribution’ to the practice area. Stephen Cottle  is branded an ’excellent advocate’, recently representing vulnerable individuals against eviction proceedings. Adrian Marshall Williams  is ‘very committed to cases’ having worked on a number of possession claims with public law elements. Georgina Rea appears largely unled on a variety of complex cases in the area.
