About me

I specialise in judicial review, human rights and civil claims against public authorities. I have acted at all levels including at the Supreme Court and Strasbourg. I act for claimants, NGOs and other organisations.

My practice includes cases involving inquests, prisons, police, surveillance, intercept evidence, closed proceedings, international law, terrorism, mental health, children’s rights, discrimination, immigration detention, and community care. I was awarded Chambers & Partners Human Rights & Public Law junior of the year 2014, and LAPG Young Legal Aid Barrister of the year in 2010.
