Public Law and Human Rights
“Human rights belong to every one of us without exception. But unless we know them, unless we demand they be respected, and unless we defend our right – and the right of others – to exercise them, they will be just words …”
– UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-Moon, Human Rights Day 2011.
Beyond our commercial and corporate framework, we consider the protection and promotion of freedoms and human rights as implicit to our ethos and a key object to our existence.
Our practitioners have extensive experience seeking to protect and enshrine rights dealing with claims against police, wrongful arrest immigration appeals and judicial review. Reported caselaw that our practitioners have been instructed on include:
