Garden Court Chambers

Garden Court Chambers garners praise as ‘one of the strongest sets in administrative and human rights law, a very formidable operation’, a ‘leader in the field’ and ‘trailblazers in the field of human rights’. Stephanie Harrison KC is ‘a formidable advocate who combines expert knowledge of human rights with an approachable manner’. Patrick Roche is ‘a persuasive, canny advocate who inspires confidence in his clients’. Protest law matters have been prominent in the group’s recent workload, and in one prominent example, Bijan Hoshi appeared as junior counsel for the intervener in Liberty v Secretary of State for the Home Department, a high-profile judicial review challenge to the Public Order Act 1986 (Serious Disruption to the Life of the Community) Regulations 2023. Joanne Cecil KC was elevated to silk in March 2024.
