We have a national reputation for defending the rights of children, young people, and vulnerable adults held in detention.

We act for children, young people, and vulnerable adults held in immigration removal centres, prisons, mental health hospitals and care homes, including where they have suffered discrimination based on age, race, sex, disability or sexual orientation. Some have been trafficked.

We also support bereaved families where someone has died in detention or Home Office accommodation.

We have an excellent reputation for securing compensation in these circumstances.

Where children are held in immigration detention, we can challenge age assessments, stop removals from the UK and secure their release.

We are also experts in representing vulnerable adults or their families in the Court of Protection.

At the heart of this work is our detailed understanding of the overlapping areas of domestic and international law that protect the rights of children and vulnerable adults.

We are innovative and tailor our work to suit the needs of each individual client.

We act for individuals as well as NGOs across England and Wales and have been involved in some of the most important cases in this area. We continue to push the boundaries for our clients by bringing test cases.
