What the Team is Known For
Cornerstone Barristers is noted for its expert handling of a wide range of social care and health matters, and offers representation to healthcare providers, local authorities and hospitals, as well as individuals and families. The set's barristers are regularly instructed in highly sensitive judicial review challenges relating to the care of both adults and children, and age assessment disputes concerning young asylum seekers. The team is also frequently called on to advise local authorities on strategic matters involving budgets. Members recently acted in R (Simpson) v NHS Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board in a judicial review challenging an NHS assessment and the services offered as a result.
Daryl Hughes is the senior clerk.
