About Caroline
Our home is something so personal to us all and when something threatens it, or our sense of safety within it, it is natural to react on an emotional level. It is important to be able to provide clear, impartial advice to clients so that they can make decisions on the facts, and not just their emotions.
Caroline has experience in a range of housing and property matters, including possession, injunction and disrepair claims. She has also issued claims on behalf of clients for breaches of the Equality Act, including racial and disability discrimination. She is also advising and representing some of those affected by the Grenfell Tower fire.
Caroline has a special interest in homelessness law, particularly homeless appeals in the county court.
Caroline qualified in 2011 and joined Russell-Cooke in 2016. She was promoted to senior associate in 2020.
Caroline Brosnan is a conscientious, reliable, and trustworthy lawyer of integrity. She has been nothing but supportive and reassuring; she patiently explained everything in a way that was simple yet thorough and made sure I felt protected and safe throughout the process.
