Public Barristers

The consistently excellent 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 (Chambers & Partners). 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.

Whilst holding on to our traditional strengths in the planning and compulsory purchase aspects of public law (Legal 500), we are also being recognized increasingly for our work outside these areas.

We appear for both claimants and respondents, and have particular expertise in addition to our other main practice areas in:

• all aspects of local government
• social security, housing benefit and child support
• mental health
• community care
• human rights
• immigration
• rating
• social housing
• education
• professional disciplinary matters
• issues regarding local authority standards and Codes of Conduct
  
• devolution
• complaints of maladministration

Fourteen of our barristers are currently appointed to the Attorney Generals 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 in Public Law. Other regular Landmark clients are the Child Poverty Action Group, Friends of the Earth, the RSPB, Liberty and the Public Law Project.
