Other Areas of Specialism
Other Areas of Specialism
We are nationally recognised for our expertise in handling complex legal issues that span multiple practice areas, often involving sensitive matters and supporting clients in vulnerable situations.
Detention and Deprivation of Liberty
We have a large team of committed and very highly regarded solicitors experienced in bringing cases for people detained in prisons, immigration removal centres, care homes and hospitals.
International Law and Corporate Accountability
This work may involve litigating wrongful acts by the UK government or UK corporations overseas; using international human rights law to help a client’s case; or examining UK accountability mechanisms for the actions of foreign governments.
Information and Privacy Rights
Our information and privacy work spans challenges to unlawful surveillance; data breach compensation claims; and securing correction and deletion of harmful public records, amongst others.
Access to Justice
DPG pioneered the innovative PAP Project, equipping frontline organisations with training and supervision to draft formal pre-action letters challenging public authority decisions impacting their service users.
Climate & Nature
Our lawyers are committed to helping clients secure environmental justice, through judicial review actions, damages actions for environmental harm, and human rights cases linking environmental damage to human rights violations.
Human Rights
Human rights underpin almost all of our clients' cases. Our solicitors are recognised for their extensive knowledge of the Human Rights Act 1998 and other international human rights law instruments.
Group Claims
When a large number of people have suffered a similar loss or injury due to the same issue, a group claim can be the most effective way to seek justice. We specialise in public law and civil claims which can achieve bigger results by bringing claimants together.
