Overview
Ceri Edmonds joined Chambers in September 2019 on successful completion of her pupillage. During pupillage she was supervised by Nicola Muir, Mark Loveday and Carl Fain.
Ceri experienced a wide range of work including leasehold enfranchisement, service charges, rights of first refusal, forfeiture, mortgages, possessions and real property.
Since April 2019, Ceri has been undertaking her own cases, including both advisory and court work. She has been instructed to appear in the First Tier Tribunal, county courts and the High Court on a range of matters, and is looking to build her practice in all areas of Chambers’ core practice, with a particular focus on landlord and tenant disputes, service charges and enfranchisement.
Before coming to the Bar, Ceri enjoyed a successful career as a civil servant working in the UK and abroad. She has extensive experience in advising ministers and senior officials and in drafting reports and submissions on complex and sensitive issues.
