I am a solicitor in the Civil Liberties Department. I work on inquests, claims against the police and other public authorities, including civil actions for assault, false imprisonment, malicious prosecution, discrimination and breach of the Human Rights Act. I am very passionate about civil liberties, working with vulnerable individuals and helping those whose rights have been violated to seek justice and accountability.
