Described by Chambers & Partners as “A high-profile team deserving of all its praise”, our Actions Against the Police, Civil Liberties and Human Rights team specialises in claims for false imprisonment, assault, malicious prosecution, discrimination, deaths in custody, and the judicial review of decisions taken by public authorities.
The department has particular experience in challenging over-zealous and pre-emptive policing operations and obtaining compensation for those affected.
The team operates at the centre of the key issues and works closely with community and grass-roots organisations. All of our team are members of the Police Action Lawyers Group and Inquest Lawyers Group.
Our Lawyers are available 24 hours a day. Please contact our Civil Liberties department on 020 7388 8333 or email info@tuckerssolicitors.com
