Anthony Gold Solicitors LLP

Founded over 60 years ago, Anthony Gold Solicitors LLP is a multi-specialist law firm based in London with a national reputation. The firm is recognised for having one of the largest specialist social housing teams, frequently handling complex litigation concerning the rights of social housing tenants and leaseholders. It was heavily involved in legal work following the Grenfell Tower fire and represents a client due to provide key evidence at the public inquiry. The firm also acts in private housing cases, including disputes over defective new-build properties. One of its partners co-drafted the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act, which became law in 2019 to ensure rented properties are safe and habitable. The housing team also achieved a successful group action on behalf of residents of a south London estate affected by fire safety defects and disrepair issues.

The firm’s personal injury practice is recognised nationally for its expertise in catastrophic brain and spinal cord injury claims, amputation cases, psychiatric injury and other high-value or complex matters. Its clinical negligence team specialises in cerebral palsy and serious brain, spinal cord, orthopaedic and psychiatric injury claims. In 2019, Anthony Gold Solicitors LLP was named ‘Catastrophic Injury Team of the Year’ at the 12th annual Personal Injury Awards, recognising excellence in representing clients who have suffered life-changing injuries.

Anthony Gold also provides highly regarded private client services, including one of the leading mediation and collaborative family law practices in London. The family law team, led by Kim Beatson, advises on children, finance, and international relocation, with additional expertise in cohabitation agreements, civil partnerships, and matters affecting same-sex couples.

The firm undertakes a wide range of legal work, including company and commercial law, acquisitions and disposals, commercial contracts, and intellectual property issues. Its dispute resolution teams handle civil, commercial, property, contentious probate, and professional negligence matters. The contentious probate practice includes six lawyers, three of whom are members of the Association of Contentious Trust and Probate Lawyers, with particular experience in complex multi-party inheritance disputes.

Anthony Gold’s Court of Protection team is regularly instructed in intra-family disputes involving the finances of individuals lacking capacity, as well as welfare and deprivation of liberty cases. The team is on the approved panel for many London boroughs and is experienced in establishing care plans and managing state funding issues. The employment practice provides both contentious and non-contentious services, advising on best practice, disputes, and agreements, with particular experience representing high-net-worth employees in dismissal and discrimination matters.

The firm’s housing and public law practices are widely recognised, advising on housing conditions, tenancy issues, local authority decision-making, and broader public law challenges. Its property dispute resolution team specialises in landlord and tenant matters, while the leasehold services practice, headed by Ian Mitchell, has extensive experience in enfranchisement and block management cases before the Property Tribunal.

Anthony Gold also provides notary services through David Wedgwood, Peter Mantell, and Philip Wallace, alongside a strong property practice accredited under the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme, covering conveyancing, commercial leases, property development, and investment transactions. The wills, trusts, tax, and probate team advises on estate administration, trusts, and tax planning.
