The department is unique amongst claimant law firms as it sits within a large Public Law and Human Rights department in a national law firm, with teams in 10 city centre offices focusing on health and social care work alongside the civil liberties work. The team profits from its in-depth knowledge of human rights and administrative law, a desire to seek out policy challenges to produce benefits for the wider public, and a crucial understanding of the interaction between police forces, mental health services and social services.
This is particularly attractive to disability charities when referring claims under the Equality Act and Human Rights Act. Additionally, we receive a significant number of referrals from charities and NGOs including INQUEST, Centre for Women’s Justice, Avon and Bristol Law Centre, Prisoners’ Advice Service, Public Law Project, and StopWatch. In additional we receive regular referrals from a number of regional sexual assault crisis centres.
In addition to the work of our Public Law and Human Rights team, several other teams at Irwin Mitchell specialise in supporting and representing families at inquests within their practice areas, including our Medical Negligence, Military and Serious Injury teams.
