Document:
Public law cases are those at the forefront of deciding where the balance between the interests of the State and the individual should lie. Litigation arising out of those actions can be multi-faceted and challenging, requiring considered advice and careful representation. Charter Chambers provides advice and representation to a wide spectrum of clients before a number of different tribunals.
We have a longstanding commitment to enforcing individual rights and a strong track record in doing so, with members appearing in a number of jurisdictions up to and including the European Court of Human Rights. We are equally well positioned to act for local authorities, charities, NGOs or other bodies.
Members include a former chair of the Bar Human Rights Committee and the present Treasurer of Asylum Aid as well as an Attorney General’s Special Advocate.
