Human Rights

We act for individuals and groups of people who believe their human rights are being violated by the state or other powerful bodies. We specialise in judicial review: the process by which the Administrative Court ensures that public bodies act fairly. 

We also act for organisations, such as public authorities, businesses, and NGOs. We offer timely, clear advice on how organisations can lawfully exercise their powers - or advise when they are facing a challenge from an individual about previous decisions. We help our clients ensure that their decision-making is fair and robust.

We regularly work with activists and pressure groups, where the legal case will be just one strand in a wider campaign or protest. Our lawyers often appear in the media, explaining the legal issues involved, where it is in the interests of our client’s case to do so.
