11KBW has a long history of expertise in public and administrative law. We provide clear advice with an eye on the wider picture and the wider interests at stake – whether commercial, employment or human rights.
We pride ourselves on having the broadest client base; from individual claimants and non-governmental organisations, to private companies, to government departments, regulators, local authorities and other public bodies of all types. Our barristers include members of all levels of the Attorney-General’s Panel of Counsel (click here to see panel members).
Our unrivalled breadth of experience means that our members consistently appear in the leading cases across the full range of public law issues. We appear in both domestic and international Courts, at every level of the court and tribunal system. We are regularly instructed in high-profile public law challenges, including claims which require urgent applications for interim relief, and which involve complex issues of international, EU or human rights law, and claims in the commercial sphere.
