Civil & Human Rights
Duncan Lewis is a leading law firm in civil rights and human rights advocacy, recognized for excellence by The Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners UK. Our dedicated team of civil liberties lawyers specializes in defending constitutional rights across Immigration, Public Law, Family, Housing, and Crime. We protect disability rights, often representing clients with severe mental health challenges or social security disability issues. Our firm has extensive experience supporting vulnerable individuals, including native people, victims of torture, trafficking, and domestic violence, as well as unaccompanied minors.
Our legal approach covers civil liberties established in laws such as the Equality Act and Data Protection Act. In cases where human rights are threatened, we leverage the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), addressing critical protections like Article 3, which defends against inhumane treatment, and Article 8, which upholds privacy and family life.
When rights are violated by restrictive government interpretations, we pursue justice through appeals, judicial reviews, and claims in the High Court under the Human Rights Act. If domestic remedies are exhausted, we may escalate cases to the European Court of Human Rights. Contact us for dedicated legal representation in civil liberties and human rights matters.
