Civil Justice Claims
Our mission is to seek public and private law remedies both in the UK and across the world for deaths in custody, torture, unlawful detention, wrongful conviction and other wrongs which individuals suffer at the hands of the state.
Chambers UK Guide (2010) lauds our work "This five-strong team has an impressive practice, combining strength in litigation with creative intellects and a personable approach".

- Actions against the police and other detaining authorities
- Public law (judicial review) of CCRC, IPCC, LSC and other criminal justice agencies
- Compensation for miscarriages of justice
- Discrimination within the criminal justice system
- Immigration detention claims
- Inquests and public inquiries
- Data protection, privacy and defamation cases
- Extradition challenges
- Arrest warrants for international crimes
