Halcyon Chambers’ Public Law Barristers offer specialist advice and representation to individuals who wish to challenge all areas of public decision-making by government and other forms of governmental authority.  Our members regularly appear before the Administrative Court and Upper Tribunal. Our instructions are typically Claimant-based which allows us to advocate the rights of the individual with a strong focus on human rights, EU law and international law.  Given the cutbacks in public funding, Chambers is committed to providing pro-bono representation where needed.
