Housing and Civil Litigation Team

Narinder Moss is the Senior partner of Moss & Co. She founded the firm 33 years ago with her husband Aryeh Moss. The firm’s ethos has always been to provide the very best quality legal services at a price people can afford or on Legal Aid if they are eligible.

Narinder has spent 35 years as a specialist civil litigator and housing expert. She has trained over 40 solicitors. During that time she has represented several thousand clients with housing problems. She is a true expert in her field finding defences and causes of action where others have failed. She is always looking for a solution to the client’s problem and has never been known to duck a legal analysis with the dreaded words “a grey area”. An independent peer reviewer described her housing case outcomes as “truly remarkable”.

Narinder continues to run the practice, ensuring high standards from all solicitors, whilst conducting her own caseload. She has developed a well-respected civil litigation practice, including many notable successes in asserting clients’ rights against local authorities, the police, and the prison service. Her deep experience of conducting cases for tenants means that she is also a formidable opponent when acting for landlords. On more than one occasion, a landlord has instructed her after her work on behalf of their tenants. The landlords would rather have her on their side than against them. Her areas of expertise are housing work including possession, tenancy fraud, evictions, disrepair cases, and homelessness.

Narinder was admitted in 1987 after studying law at the LSE and training at a London civil rights firm.
