Aristide Hoang-Brown joined chambers as a tenant in September 2023 following the successful completion of his pupillage.

Aristide has a mixed practice in housing, family, civil, employment and public law.

In housing, Aristide advises, drafts statements of case for and represents tenants, private landlords, local authorities and housing associations in contentious and non-contentious matters, including in possession proceedings, disrepair claims, access and anti-social behaviour injunctions and proceedings where Equality Act issues are engaged. He also has experience representing both claimants and defendants in committal proceedings for breaches of injunctions.

Aristide’s family law practice encompasses domestic violence injunctions, public and private Children Act proceedings. He has been instructed in proceedings concerning international relocation and exceptional circumstances under s.9(7) Children Act 1989. Aristide brings an empathetic approach to cases and draws upon his considerable pre-pupillage family law experience to assist in complex and emotionally-charged matters.

He has a growing practice in education law, appearing in hearings in the First-tier Tribunal (Special Educational Needs and Disability). Aristide acts for local authorities and also for appellant parents.

Aristide has experience across a broad spectrum of civil matters, including contractual disputes, personal injury, RTA/credit hire, bankruptcy proceedings, and interim applications.

In his employment practice, Aristide drafts pleadings and represents individuals in the employment tribunal including in relation to claims of unfair dismissal and discrimination under the Equality Act 2010.

Aristide accepts instructions in all of chambers’ practice areas.
