Public Law and Judicial Review
Our public law and judicial review team are dedicated to ensuring that the interests of individuals, companies and regulated bodies are recognised and protected.
Our barristers are instructed across a wide spectrum of public law cases. We also offer broad experience in judicial review claims before the Administrative Court and a range of courts and tribunals in the UK.
Acting for both claimants and defendants, our clients include government departments, local authorities, regulated bodies, health authorities, care trusts, private care providers, companies and private litigants. We undertake both public and privately funded work.
Our experience extends to:
- Civil liberties
- Community care
- Education
- Human rights
- Immigration (and related issues such as detention and citizenship)
- Inquests
- Licensing
- Local government
- Mental health
- Police and prison law
- Public inquiries
- Revenue and tax
- Social housing
- Social security law
- Transport
Seventeen members of Chambers are appointed to the Attorney General’s Panel Of Counsel (last updated March 2021). Many of our juniors and silks appear in high profile litigation for the Crown, and many of our barristers have acted in some of the leading cases in education, local authority powers, immigration and social housing.
Our knowledge in this area is enhanced by the multi-disciplinary nature of Chambers, as members of the team draw on their expertise in other disciplines, particularly commercial regulatory, inquests and personal injury.
