Peter Hubbard
Senior partner
Senior partner and member of the housing corporate services team.
My role
Senior partner at Anthony Collins Solicitors and a member of the housing corporate services team, I am a nationally recognised leader in the field of social housing and advise registered providers, local authorities and other social housing organisations on major projects, as well as constitutional, governance and regulatory issues.
My experience
I specialise in strategic support for executives and boards, advising them on growth and diversification, as well as group structures, stock transfers, corporate and governance restructuring. I led the ACS team advising Red Kite Community Housing on forming an unregistered housing provider, Twenty 11, within its group structure, using recent deregulatory measures, to enable greater freedoms over rent setting and changing tenure.
Peter was recognised in Chambers and Partners (2019): “very good reputation in the social housing sector, with clients benefiting from his deep experience in transactional and governance issues”.
‘Maintains a strong reputation for his longstanding sector expertise, which enables him to advise registered providers and local authorities on a range of regulatory concerns. “He has a real strategic overview of the sector and is very solution-focused.”‘ Chambers and Partners, 2021
‘Peter Hubbard, Baljit Basra and Emma Hardman stand out because they care and they go the extra mile.’ – Legal 500, 2022
“He is very responsive, proactive and supportive when issues become a challenge.” – Chambers and Partners, 2022
