Iris is an established Housing and Employment Law specialist, with a particular interest in disability discrimination law.
She is listed in both of the UK Bar legal directories (Legal 500 and Chambers UK), for both her Housing work and her Employment work.
Iris began her career in 2006 as a Housing specialist. Since then, she has always maintained a busy Housing practice, and a keen interest in Housing law.
Iris regularly deals with all aspects of Housing law, and has long experience in dealing with complex anti-social behaviour cases, including those involving mental health issues, on behalf of both landlords and tenants.
She is particularly good at dealing with vulnerable clients and witnesses, and managing the complex legal arguments involved in Equality Act and Human Rights cases.
Iris’s expertise in discrimination law generally (because of her combined practice in Housing and Employment Law) makes her particularly adept at handling Equality Act defences.
Iris has extensive experience of homelessness litigation, including s204 appeals in the County Court, judicial review in the High Court, and appeals to the Court of Appeal. She regularly trains local authorities on homelessness law and procedure.
Iris also delivers very popular workshops, both online and in person to solicitors and clients at their offices, on all aspects of Housing litigation.
