TC Young retains Band 1 ranking in Chambers UK and Legal 500

Chambers recognises the firm’s expertise in the social housing sector and states that: “They have excellent housing sector knowledge and a real understanding of the range of legal issues which housing associations face in their operations.”

Similarly, Legal 500 acknowledges their experience, by stating: “TC Young fields an enviably broad practice with ‘excellent knowledge of the housing sector’, governance expertise and technical knowledge.”

In addition to the Band 1 ranking, in Chambers the firm stands out as the only Scottish legal firm with seven staff ranked individually for Social Housing: Alison Brynes, Andrew Cowan, Len Freedman, Lauren Little, Christine Stuart, Alastair McKendrick and Eileen Barr, who has been identified as an Associate to Watch. Len is Scotland’s only senior statesperson, and Andrew is the only eminent practitioner.

Legal 500 has also recognised Alastair McKendrick and Lauren Little as Leading Partners and Eileen Barr as a Leading Associate. In addition, Andrew and Len are the only Scottish solicitors in Legal 500’s Hall of Fame for Social Housing.

Andrew Cowan, co-lead of the social housing department, expressed his delight at the recent rankings, highlighting both the team’s and individual achievements. He stated: “I am over the moon with our rankings, both as a team and individually. This recognition reflects our commitment to the social housing sector and our expertise in this area.”

Andrew extended his gratitude to all members of the social housing team for their dedication to serving the RSL client base. He also thanked the clients who took part in the Chambers review process and provided such positive feedback, acknowledging their valuable contribution to this recognition.
