"The barristers are reliable specialists in their field who provide high quality legal advice and representation. They also understand their clients"

Chambers & Partners

The work we do:

COVID-19 is having a profound effect on the public sector and raises numerous legal issues. Please see our dedicated COVID-19 hub for our barristers’ latest commentary and articles. For further information on COVID-19 or the public sector, please contact our clerks on 0207 269 0300.

We have a long and established reputation in public law, acting for both claimants and defendants in key human rights and judicial review cases, and we appear for claimants and defendants in a diverse range of claims brought against public sector bodies.

We are well represented on the Attorney General’s panels of Treasury Counsel and a number of our members act as Special Advocates. We have appeared in some of the most significant and high-profile litigation brought against the government. Local authorities throughout England and Wales and other public sector bodies also regularly choose to instruct Old Square Chambers.

Members of chambers also act for individual claimants and human rights organisations.

  • Common law damages claims

  • Equality law
  • Human rights
  • Inquests (including Article 2)
  • Judicial review
