The consistently “talented” Public and Administrative Law team at Landmark covers the full range of work in this area with a raft of high profile cases to their names, and “proves a match for anybody” (Chambers & Partners 2011). Our 41 specialists, led by 9 QCs, appear frequently in applications for
judicial review and subsequent appeals, in the UK and beyond, and have experience of all types of tribunals. We are recognised for our work across the full range of public law cases. Recent examples of high profile cases we have been involved in include the Sharon Shoesmith appeal, Ken Livingstone’s
challenge to the Standards Board, the Pinochet litigation, the immigration cap judicial review and the Hutton Inquiry.
Fourteen of our barristers are currently appointed to the Attorney General’s A, B and C panels to advise central government. Two of our barristers are members of the Welsh Assembly Government’s Panel of Junior Counsel. Three members of chambers are on the Treasury Solicitor’s Freedom of Information list of counsel. Other regular Landmark clients are the Child Poverty Action Group, Friends of the Earth, the RSPB, Liberty and the Public Law Project.
In mid-2009 Landmark Chambers launched a new website dedicated to all aspects of public inquiries. Publicinquiries.org is the first freely available, online, independent practical legal resource containing guidance and advice on public inquiries for all interested parties, including legal practitioners, witnesses, campaigners, government and state officials and appointed panel members.
