What the Team is Known For

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 "thorough" approach to reviewing and handling matters. 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 a range of complex asylum appeals involving vulnerable minors.

The clerking team at No5 Barristers' Chambers is led by the CEO and director of clerking, Tony McDaid.
