About

Provided by Bhatt Murphy

Civil Liberties and Human Rights are at the heart of Bhatt Murphy’s work, including in our police law, prison law, immigration detention and security services work. Bhatt Murphy lawyers are consistently involved in some of the most high-profile civil liberties cases.


Bhatt Murphy has one of the largest and longstanding police action teams in the jurisdiction. Our reputation has been built acting for Claimants (exclusively) in high profile, high value, complex public and private law claims against chief officers nationwide. Our lawyers are known for setting precedents at all levels both domestically and in the European Court of Human Rights. We work collaboratively with clients to achieve wider police accountability, including by challenging the police complaints system where it fails to provide just outcomes.


The focus of Bhatt Murphy’s immigration detention and migrant rights work is holding those in power to account and obtaining redress for migrants who are wrongly detained, held in poor conditions or unlawfully affected by the Home Office’s ‘hostile environment’ policies. We act for individuals in civil claims for compensation, judicial reviews and inquests / inquiries; and NGOs as claimant or intervenors in judicial reviews. We advise on pursuing matters to the European Court of Human Rights when remedies in the UK have been exhausted.
