Public

Public law involves the rules that govern the way all aspects of government interact with citizens, companies, non-governmental organisations, public bodies and other governments.  It covers everything from the grant of telecommunication licences to major corporates, all aspects of the law of the NHS through to the rules affecting the detention of asylum seekers.  Each area has its own complex set of rules but there are overriding principles of public law which govern how public bodies are required to act.

Counsel at Landmark have national and international reputations for handling complex public law cases and providing advice on public law issues for government departments, local government, other public bodies, NGOs, charities and individuals.  Government action is required to respect the human rights of those affected by its decisions. We have particular expertise in bringing and defending all aspects of human rights claims in whatever context they arise.
