T C Young’s social housing division attracts a comprehensive list of registered social landlords for its expertise in development, governance, finance, transactional and procurement matters, the latter is an area of particular strength for Lauren Little. With managing partner Andrew Cowan and Alastair McKendrick, the team further excels in the contentious sphere where recent instructions include anti-social behaviour, debt recovery and contractual disputes. Cowan heads up the practice from Glasgow alongside Alison Brynes, who takes the lead on regulatory and factoring issues. Other recommended individuals include housing and residential tenancy expert Jim Bauld, consultant Len Freedman, head of the firm’s Edinburgh team, Christine Stuart, and Eileen Barr.
