Masters deal with a wide range of civil liberties and human rights matters, including some of the highest profile claims.  We are regularly instructed by some of the recognised leaders in these fields with many of the firms that we deal with having a particular specialisation in civil liberties and human rights. We are renowned for our attention to detail, our proactive approach to costs and our ability to give early advice and evaluation. Our team has in-depth knowledge and extensive experience of working in these areas, including advocacy in high quantum complex cases. We are ideally placed to assist you in any requirement.  Our team can provide advice at any stage in the case and can work as part of your wider team to draft estimates of costs in readiness for trial.  We can deliver quickly and efficiently providing a highly professional and dedicated service.

We handle the costs arising from actions against the police, prison service and public bodies, which are often high profile and sensitive cases concerning issues such as, wrongful conviction, unlawful detention, deaths in custody, sex and race discrimination, judicial review and corporate governance. We have a wide range of experience in dealing with matters funded by conditional fee agreements, the community legal services and private retainers (including those supported by before the event insurance), to include the justification of after the event insurance premiums.
