Administrative & Public Law: Traditional Claimant

About

Provided by Deighton Pierce Glynn

Deighton Pierce Glynn pursues complex, novel, and nuanced challenges against public authorities in judicial review proceedings, inquiries, and private law proceedings.

The public law team originated with Pierce Glynn Solicitors and has maintained the long-standing unique feature of focusing on judicial review challenges. They continue to be known for being the go-to firm for these cases. The fact that despite the difficult political and austere Legal Aid climate, the department continues to successfully represent marginalised individuals and groups; pushes on politically sensitive legal issues such as the Government’s sale of arms to Saudi Arabia and the United States; Windrush scandal; Inquiry into abuses at the Brook House Immigration Removal Centre; the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse; Covid-19 Government contracts; unlawful detention; unlawful removals; and data breaches, is testament to the team’s determination and unwavering commitment to holding the Government and those with power to account.
