The actions of public authorities can have serious impacts on people's lives. Sometimes this means that they should pay compensation for the losses caused. We have substantial experience in helping clients seek damages: when they have been unlawfully detained; or subjected to assaults and other mistreatment - whether in immigration or police detention or due to harms caused by British authorities overseas; or have been subjected to unfair conditions in housing and other areas.

Where this work can have more impact collectively, then we have expertise in bringing group claims.

How we can help

Our civil claims team has many years’ experience in these areas. We can provide you with expert legal representation, discuss the legal remedies available to you, and advise you on how best to go about pursuing them.

Funding your claim

If you are on a low income or receive a means-tested benefit, you may qualify for legal aid to cover the cost of your claim. If not, we may be able to offer a Conditional Fee Agreement (commonly known as a no-win, no-fee arrangement) or other flexible funding options.
