Overview

Landmark’s barristers regularly appear in the leading cases in the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal and High Court, instructed by both claimants and defendants.

Landmark has been involved in some of the most important human rights and civil liberties cases and continues to be at the forefront of this area of law.

Our members take on a significant amount of legally aided and pro bono work in this field. Past clients have included Reprieve, CPAG, JCWI, Medical Justice, BID, the AIRE Centre, and the National Deaf Children’s Society.

A number of Landmark’s barristers have been recognised in Chambers & Partners and Legal 500 for their strength in this area, and regularly give talks which focus on this subject.
