    Civitas Law's members are instructed in a range of complex discrimination and unfair dismissal cases. They also have strong expertise in whistle-blowing matters, and various other issues including the National Minimum Wage and TUPE. They attract frequent instructions from the devolved government and a range of public authorities. Civitas barristers recently represented the respondent in Ade Langerveld v Powys County Council, a multi-day sex discrimination claim. One respondent notes: "I've seen really impressive advocacy by the barristers whom I have instructed."

    Daniele Smith is practice manager.
