We have significant experience having acted as both inquest solicitors and representing individuals and organisations at high-profile inquests and inquiries, therefore understand the full process from both sides.

The breadth of our expertise means we recognise the importance of handling matters with sensitivity and clarity to ensure that all those involved have confidence in the process and investigation.

Our experience:

  • Acted for the Kelly family at the Hutton Inquiry which examined the circumstances surrounding the death of the government scientist Dr David Kelly
  • Acted for a high-profile individual at an Inquiry into the murder of Pat Finucane in Northern Ireland
  • Acted for the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse
