One Pump Court has a strong reputation for specialising in claimant-based advice and representation in judicial review claims at all levels of the domestic court process. We specialise in providing advice and representation in relation to decisions of central and local government, particularly in the areas of immigration and human rights law, housing and community care law, social welfare law and crime/ prison law. We have a strong commitment to representing the most vulnerable in our society, including asylum seekers, other migrants facing the threat of removal, the homeless, and judicial-review applicants more generally.

We provide a comprehensive service in relation to public law litigation, covering every step in proceedings: pre-litigation advice; drafting documents; representation at Court; and advice on negotiation and resolution of claims after the commencement of proceedings.

As one of the leading sets providing advice and representation for publicly-funded clients, we also believe our strategic planning for the future will enable us to continue to grow, both in size and quality of work, despite the current challenges the legal aid sector undoubtedly faces.

Members of the team also regularly provide seminars on subjects relevant to this practice area as part of each team’s annual programme, and also contribute to practitioner associations (such as the Immigration Law Practitioners Association (ILPA), Housing Law Practitioners Association (HLPA), Refugee Legal Group (RLG)).
