A Law Firm For Life
The term 'human rights' covers a broad remit. For many of us it calls to mind examples of cruelty in countries abroad.
For most of us here in the UK, the circumstances in which we might want to exercise our human rights are closer to home.
Experts In Human Rights Law
There are a broad range of reasons why you may feel your human rights have been violated. Here are just a few examples:
- Your child has been wrongly excluded from school
- You or a loved one has been denied medication on financial grounds
Whatever your experience, Irwin Mitchell's human rights team has both the specialist legal know-how and understanding of what you've been through to help you fight your case.
Our team of human rights lawyers is the first of its kind in the UK. They have doggedly pursued actions against the police and the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority, acting for citizens who have been subjected to irresponsible policing methods.
Each member of the team specialises in one particular area of human rights law:
They frequently deal with cases involving:
- Contesting extradition orders
- Wrongful arrest
- Wrongful imprisonment
- Equal pay claims
- Sexual harassment or discrimination
- Racial harassment or discrimination
They have also successfully challenged regulatory bodies like the General Medical Council and have represented clients at disciplinary tribunals, the High Court and Court of Appeal, and in the House of Lords and the European Court of Human Rights.
Whether you'll be privately funding your case or you qualify for legal aid, you’ll get the same level of personal service from Irwin Mitchell's human rights lawyers.
Recognised by top legal directories as a pioneering, award-winning legal team, we'll fight your case every step of the way.
