Public Inquiries

Bindmans has a longstanding reputation as one of the UK’s foremost firms representing non state participants in public inquiries. We have decades long history of acting for bereaved families, survivors, witnesses, campaigners and community groups across the UK’s most sensitive and politically charged inquiries.

Over recent years, our public inquiries team have acted in the following:

• Lampard Inquiry
• Leveson Inquiry examining the culture practices and ethics of the press following the phone hacking scandal
• Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse
• Infected blood Inquiry
• Undercovering Policing Inquiry
• Grenfell Tower Inquiry, acting for Bereaved, Survivors and Residents
• Covid-19 Inquiry

Our inquiries practice continues to expand. Bindmans is acting for and advising a number of clients who are fighting for public scrutiny into breaches of fundamental rights and who seek to challenge failures to hold statutory inquiries where necessary.
