Yogi Amin

Over the course of my career, I have worked on a significant number of high profile and complex cases, including matters before the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court, achieving outcomes that have improved individual lives and shaped wider policy and practice.

I am also a regular lecturer in my fields of expertise, sharing knowledge and supporting best practice across the profession.

Notable cases I’ve worked on include:

• R v L1T and Letterone and Chancellor of the Duchy and UPP – Judicial review and human rights challenge to government decision to require a company to divest a business acquisition. Sanctions, national security and investment government decision making and article 1 protocol 1 ECHR human rights compensation.
• YL – The meaning of a public authority under the Human Rights Act and ‘functions of a public nature’. (House of Lords)
• Cheshire West judgement – established the Acid Test law for deprivation of liberty (Supreme Court)
• MM – Court of Protection leading case on safeguarding and quality of life. “What good is it making someone safer if it merely makes them miserable?”
• W v M – Medical treatment law on right to life and withdrawal of treatment for coma patients (Court of Appeal)
• Conway v Secretary of State – Judicial Review of government policy banning assisted dying, right to life and Terminally Ill (Supreme Court)
• Rogers v NHS - Judicial Review - Availability of cancer treatment of Herceptin (Court of Appeal)
• HRI – Judicial review challenging closure of hospital A&E

Access to medical treatment and other public law disputes often engage fundamental principles such as dignity, the right to life and the right to healthcare. I am deeply committed to helping clients achieve positive, meaningful outcomes.

I apply my huge experience and expertise with the largest national public law practice to support my clients achieve the outcome they seek. I have a network of some of the best advocates and experts in the country. I bring leading experts and barristers into a case so that my clients have the strongest case and the best chance of success.

I negotiate and apply for injunctions from court where urgent decisions are needed to support my clients.

I take a strategic and empathetic approach to my legal work.

When we meet for the first time, my priority is to listen carefully to your situation and make sure you feel heard and supported. I appreciate that seeking legal advice can feel daunting, and I will do my best to create a calm, approachable environment where you can speak openly. We can work in a way that is most comfortable for you, whether this is in-person or via phone or video call. I will involve my team in your case to ensure you are fully supported at every stage.

From the outset, my goal is to earn your trust by acting with integrity and always keeping your best interests at the heart of everything I do. I will give you clear, honest advice about your case, including the strengths and any potential challenges, so you can make an informed decision about how you’d like to move forward.

You can also expect me to be proactive and determined on your behalf. Where your matter involves public bodies or complex issues, I won’t hesitate to challenge decisions and stand up for your rights.

Above all, I want you to leave our meeting feeling reassured that you have someone in your corner who is committed to guiding you through the process with care and transparency.
