Administrative & Public Law

Mounting a challenge to the government or another public body can feel like a big step. That is why it is helpful to have a team of experts on hand to provide you with the guidance you need to make your case with confidence.

Whether you are questioning decisions in healthcare or education, or a planning or environmental decision, or believe you are being discriminated against because of a disability, here at Irwin Mitchell we have the experience and the expertise to help you achieve the justice your claim deserves. Our cases often involve challenges brought against private bodies undertaking a public function.

How Irwin Mitchell Can Help You

We know that matters of public law are often bound up with issues of human rights and we can help you understand what your rights are and how to make sure they stay protected.

This level of expertise means you can be sure that we will fight for your rights every step of the way and we are not daunted by any challenge.

Our legal experts are regularly instructed across the country by a wide range of individuals and organisations to advise and assist them with public law and human rights issues.
