Experience

William started pupillage in Housing and Crime at One Pump Court in October 2024.

Prior to pupillage, William worked at Hodge Jones & Allen Solicitors. He helped the bereaved, survivors and residents of the Grenfell Tower Fire to pursue justice and accountability through the public inquiry, including contributing to lines of questioning asked on their behalf of key local and central government witnesses.

William also worked on a variety of housing matters, in particular homelessness reviews and appeals, judicial review challenges to allocations schemes and decisions, and claims under the Equality Act 2010.

He then moved to the Civil Liberties and Human Rights department at the firm, where he assisted with a variety of inquests and civil claims against the police, prison authorities and other state bodies.

William has volunteered as a caseworker for the National Bargee Travellers Association, Legal Sector Workers United, and the Free Representation Unit.

William is supervised in pupillage by Martin Hodgson and Rebecca Martin
