No5 Barristers' Chambers members regularly act in immigration and asylum matters at all levels of the court and tribunal system, and some have appeared before the ECJ and the ECtHR. In an interview an instructing solicitor complimented their "full range of specialists for almost every type of claim and issue". They have a strong record of success in difficult challenges to deportation orders and asylum refusals, and possess significant expertise in relation to high-risk destinations for returnees. Key recent instructions include several appeals relating to refusal of asylum and judicial reviews concerning deportation, with appearances before the Upper Tribunal, High Court and Court of Appeal.
The clerking team at No5 Barristers' Chambers is led by the CEO and head clerk, Tony McDaid.
