Bindmans has a long history of enforcing human rights here and abroad, for clients with everyday problems, as well as in high profile cases. We pride ourselves in offering the same level of commitment, attention to detail and expertise across the board to ordinary people, campaigning groups, NGOs, charities and companies.
We protect against state oppression, including unlawful killings, torture, brutality and slavery and help people live and express themselves freely, with dignity, enjoying private and family life. We ensure that human rights receive fair trials in public, respect for interests in property and educational preferences and that any discrimination by the state is properly justified.
Besides helping individuals with advice and litigation, we work proactively to prevent human rights problems arising in the first place. We advise organisations that are concerned about future infringements of their own human rights, or that are seeking to ensure they comply with the highest level of human rights standards across their own activities. We also support activists, pressure groups and unions, where human rights arguments are likely to one part of a wider campaign or action for social change.
