Social Housing Law Association welcomes four new committee members

The Social Housing Law Association (SHLA) has welcomed four new members to its committee - Andrew Lane, Iris Ferber KC, Imran Mustak and Dambu Tenner.

The Association works to promote and develop better solutions to the legal problems faced by social landlords.

Andrew Lane’s practice focuses on social housing, local government, and public law. He works primarily for local authorities and housing associations, and spent over 10 years working in the statutory and voluntary sector in the field of housing, debt, and benefits advice before coming to the Bar.

Iris Ferber KC is a Housing and Employment Silk with 20 years of experience in Social Housing litigation. Her particular interest lies in disputes involving tenants with disabilities, issues of capacity, and the Equality Act.

Imran Mustak works as an in-house solicitor and legal manager at L&Q, a Housing Association managing over 100,000 homes across the UK. In his role, he advises on all aspects of complex housing management matters. Additionally, Imran has successfully defended numerous EPA prosecutions and disrepair claims.

Dambu Tenner is a litigator who has specialised in housing management since qualification. She initially worked in London before going inhouse for a local authority in 2016.

She advises on all aspects of housing management, including anti-social behaviour, disrepair and general housing advice, including successions.

Announcing the appointment of the new committee members on LinkedIn, the SHLA said: “Their fresh perspectives and dedication will enrich our organisation, and we can't wait to see what the future holds.”
