What the Team is Known For
Monckton Chambers excels in both commercial and human rights-based public law work. The "pragmatic and thorough" barristers boast "excellent expertise in public law" and represent individual claimants or interveners in challenges to policy involving immigration, social housing, criminal justice and related issues. Meanwhile, Chambers is regularly instructed by a range of government departments, including the Home Office, in key national security challenges involving surveillance and the use of data. The set also acts for businesses in competition and other regulatory matters. Recent mandates include acting for the Secretary of State for the Home Department and the Secretary of State for FCO in a judicial challenge brought by Liberty related to the Investigatory Powers Act 2016. David Hockney leads the team.
