What the Team is Known For
Blackstone Chambers is lauded as a legendary set for its human rights practice. Its barristers appear in prominent disputes before the Supreme Court and European Court of Human Rights, routinely handling cases of extraordinary complexity and gravity. Recent major cases have included R (Duke of Sussex) v Secretary of State for the Home Department, in a challenge to the Duke's state security provision while in the UK and R (Castellucci) v Gender Recognition Panel, focused on the recognition of foreign-acquired non-binary bodies. One client praises Blackstone Chambers as a "solid set with a proud and distinguished record of excellence."
Mat Swallow leads the team as Chambers Director, with Derek Sutton and Adam Sloane acting as Joint Senior Clerks.
