Cornerstone Barristers welcomes new tenant Lindsay Johnson to Chambers
We are delighted to welcome Lindsay Johnson to Cornerstone Barristers. Lindsay specialises in public law and his experience spans multiple areas including local government, community care and Court of Protection, housing and property, freedom of information and data protection, as well as equality law and discrimination.
Since joining the Bar in 1997, Lindsay has developed an impressive practice with a diverse client base, including local authorities, public bodies as well as individuals. From his landmark homelessness cases in the Supreme Court, to his work on environmental protest cases, including in relation to challenges to the badger cull, and his work on data protection, Lindsay’s practice dovetails with several of Chambers’ practice areas.
Lindsay co-wrote the most recent version of Local Government Constitutional and Administrative Law and was a contributor for several years to Cross on Local Government and the loose-leaf Local Government Finance. He regularly undertakes work for Advocate and is a qualified mediator.
