Listen here: No Walls Podcast Our public law team is top ranked by both the prestigious legal guides, The Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners, and has a broad practice representing both privately and publicly funded (legal aid) clients in matters involving immigration; asylum and human rights and deportation matters, with a niche practice in immigration and civil liberties claimant judicial review matters. They have significant practice in challenging delays in Home Office decision making (asylum claims, accommodation / support), unlawful immigration detention cases with high net claims for damages and challenging immigration removal decisions, particularly third country removal cases. If you think a public body (like a government department, the local authority or a tribunal) has treated you unfairly, our public law tea may be able to help you challenge this treatment. Public bodies frequently make unlawful decisions or policies; these can be damaging and life-changing. Our team can help you challenge these decisions, to hold public bodies to account and to ensure that you get the justice you deserve.
