Doughty Street Chambers is a buoyant and cutting-edge set, renowned for and committed to defending freedom and civil liberties. We have a truly national and international profile across our wide range of practice in criminal law, civil law, administrative and public law, international law and human rights.
Since our foundation in 1990, our aim has been and will always be to improve access to justice and to promote human rights and civil liberties through the law. Founded by fewer than 30 barristers, we have grown to become one of the largest sets in the country with over 120 members, of whom 34 are Queen’s Counsel, and we have established chambers in Manchester and Bristol as well as London.
