We are well represented on the Attorney General’s panels of Treasury Counsel and a number of our members act as Special Advocates in Control Order and SIAC cases. Members of chambers have also acted against the Government for Claimants and Human Rights organisations such as Liberty and Justice. For more information about our members with Developed Vetted Security Clearance, please contact our clerks.

1 Crown Office Row is renowned for handling a variety of public law matters on behalf of central government, and for handling an increasing number of cases on behalf of claimants.

“1 Crown Office Row is best known in the administrative law field for its barristers’ deft handling of cases with national security elements, in the role of special advocate. This work sees them acting in prominent judicial reviews involving immigration law, criminal justice and counter-extremism. The set also possesses considerable public law expertise in various issues outside this niche, including healthcare provision and regulation, prisoners’ rights, and the conduct of public inquiries. Members tend to act for the government in these cases.” “Their clerks are experienced and friendly and they provide an efficient service.”(Chambers & Partners 2024)

A proactive and helpful set.” (Legal 500 2024)
