With ‘unparalleled dedication and commitment to human rights issues’, Deighton Pierce Glynn is a hallmark in matters involving international human rights law and overseas human rights breaches. Routine work for the team includes representing families at complex inquests, advising victims of police misconduct, assisting individuals seeking release from detention under immigration powers, and providing specialist counsel to victims of modern slavery and human trafficking. Leadership of the team is split between Sarah Ricca, who is ’passionate and absolutely committed’ in challenges to discriminatory police responses to domestic violence and policing of minoritised communities, and Jo Eggleton, an authority in Article 2 claims against the prison service. Jane Deighton is a trailblazer in race discrimination claims, while Bharine Kalsi ‘inspires real confidence’ in inquests and actions against the police and state. Polly Glynn focuses on Articles 3 and 8 challenges, Sue Willman demonstrates ’meticulous attention to detail’ in strategic public and international human rights challenges, and Daniel Carey has played a pivotal role in seeking protection for vulnerable Afghan nationals. Ugo Hayter, Zubier Yazdani, and Sasha Rozansky are further key names for championing migrant rights and victims of trafficking, with Gus Silverman active in actions against the police.
