Law Pod UK Ep 75: The Prevent Guidance in Universities - Apr 2019
Marina Wheeler QC specialises in Administrative and Public Law and family law cases with a cross-border or national security angle.
Before starting work at the Bar, she obtained a Master’s Degree in EC law from Brussels University and practised there, specialising in competition, trade and environment law. As a junior appointed to the Attorney General’s ‘B’, then ‘A’ Panel, she undertook large volumes of work for Central Government Departments and Agencies, including the Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Justice and Home Office, predominantly involving prisons, mental health, armed conflict, and radicalisation, as well as employment work. Her local government work has involved child protection and adult social care, usually with a privacy or human rights element. She has also frequently worked for the NHS in employment disputes and the reconfiguration of hospital services, involving the adequacy of consultation, alleged breaches of legitimate expectation and the Public Sector Equality Duty.
In 2011 Marina qualified as a mediator and is a part-time teacher of the mediation and alternative dispute resolution course at Regents University, London.
