What the Team is Known For

Considered a "go-to stable for civil liberties and human rights matters" and a top choice for government departments and public bodies in Scotland and the wider UK, Axiom Advocates is respected for its broad expertise. The set's advocates regularly act across immigration matters, healthcare disputes and judicial reviews. Recently members of the stable advised the Scottish Ministers in For Women Scotland v Scottish Ministers, a second challenge concerning guidance issues under the Gender Representation on Public Boards Act 2018.

Lesley Flynn leads the clerking team as Practice Manager.
