Dominic Preston

Dominic Preston is the deputy team leader of Doughty Street's Housing and Social Welfare Team and practices in all aspects of housing law and related disciplines.

He appears regularly in the lower courts, the High Court and the appellate courts.

Dominic is recognised as a leading junior in social housing by Chambers and Partners which recommends him 'for his technical ability and excellent judgment, as well as his straightforward and easy manner (2012) and comments that ''¦ his sharp mind and impressive workload were both highlighted by peers ...

Dominic's commitment to the need to secure housing for the most vulnerable is reflected in his practice and he has been on the executive of the Housing Law Practitioner's Association since 2004.
