Cornerstone Barristers are delighted to welcome Camille Richards and Max Millington as new tenants after the successful completion of their 12-month pupillages in Chambers.
Camille Richards’ practice centres on planning and environmental law, housing, property, licensing, public law, and information law, underpinned by her prior career as a government planner and property officer in Trinidad and Tobago. Her experience ranges from being involved in planning challenges regarding solar farms, contaminated land, and nuclear energy projects to housing disputes involving possession, anti-social behaviour, disrepair, and building safety under the 2022 Act. She has been involved in significant litigation concerning the provisions on fitness for human habitation in the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 and associated regulations. With several years’ experience in property management, she brings practical insight to complex landlord-tenant and leasehold disputes, complemented by advocacy in matters concerning environmental protection and statutory nuisance. Camille has also worked alongside senior members of the judiciary at the Royal Courts of Justice, contributing to significant appellate decisions in planning and environmental law. Academically distinguished as an Inner Temple Exhibition Scholar, with a First in City and Regional Planning and a Distinction in Development Administration and Planning, Camille combines technical planning expertise with a robust public law and property practice, making her particularly strong on cases at the intersection of development, housing, and environmental regulation.
Max Millington has a fast-developing practice spanning planning and environmental law, community care, Court of Protection, housing, and property. He draws on his early career as a child protection social worker and children’s rights advocate, as well as his time as Judicial Assistant to Lord Justice Bean at the Court of Appeal, where he worked on complex public law cases touching on housing, social care, ECHR rights, and the duty of candour. His pupillage provided wide exposure to planning inquiries and judicial reviews concerning environmental impact assessments, enforcement powers, and development control, as well as community care disputes under the Care Act 2014 and challenges to deprivation of liberty under the Mental Capacity Act 2005. With a string of academic prizes and Gray’s Inn scholarships to his name, Max offers a distinctive combination of rigorous public law analysis and grounded experience in social care, which informs his emerging expertise across planning, housing, property, and welfare-related litigation.
Congratulations Camille and Max, we’re pleased to have you on board.
