Albion Chambers maintains a strong position in the market and is well-versed in handling a broad spectrum of environmental law, care homes, and food safety issues. David Sapiecha is prosecuting a supported accommodation provider on behalf of HSE in a matter related to the murder of an 18-year-old female by a fellow resident with complex mental issues. Alan Fuller is ‘outstanding in his field, always capable of seeing the bigger picture while not losing sight of the client’s objective’ and was instructed by the Bristol City Council in a case involving fraudulent trading related to building works for vulnerable clients. Alexander West is another name of note – he acted for a hunt master in a matter related to the killing of a domestic cat by a group of hounds.
