With a reputation for being ‘the leading public and administrative law set’, Blackstone Chambers is also highly regarded for its ‘strong core of human rights work’. In a prominent case highlight, Sir James Eadie KC (as "Treasury Devil", the government's first-choice external counsel), Thomas de la Mare KC, Tom Leary and Hollie Higgins appeared for various parties in the Divisional Court in Liberty v Secretary of State for the Home Department, a judicial review challenging the Public Order Act 1986 (Serious Disruption to the Life of the Community) Regulations 2023, which were found to be ultra vires as it defined a threshold of "serious disruption" as "more than minor". Lord Pannick KC garners praise as ‘one of the outstanding legal minds of his generation’, and Monica Carss-Frisk KC is ‘one of the most persuasive advocates at the Bar’. Tristan Jones KC was elevated to silk in March 2024.
