We are well known for our expertise in bringing judicial review proceedings and we are passionate about the work that we do. We have vast experience working with and supporting vulnerable clients in stressful and challenging situations. We are able to act quickly and get urgent injunctive relief where appropriate.
We will always look to achieve the best outcome for our clients and we’re often able to resolve the matter at an early stage through correspondence.
We are recognised for our expertise in Chambers and Partners and Legal 500 and were finalists in the Legal Aid Lawyer of the Year Awards 2020.
Our Public Law Solicitors advise a large number of young people over the age of 18 but under 25 who aren’t receiving support from children’s services as care leavers, even though they’re clearly entitled to it. So how do you know if you might be a care leaver and still eligible for support?
The Human Rights Act is a UK law passed in 1998 that lets you defend your human rights in Court. It enables you to force government, police and local Councils to treat you with fairness, dignity and respect.
There’s been lots of discussion in the media about human trafficking and modern-day slavery. But what support is available to the people affected?
