Gold Jennings ‘punches way above its weight’ in migrant rights, police law, criminal justice, inquests and inquiries, supporting claimants in judicial review challenges and civil damages claims. Head of public law Clare Jennings is ’a fierce fighter’ whose criminal justice and migrant rights expertise is channelled into challenges targeting high-level policy change, while Matthew Gold ‘throws himself into every case’ in leading civil actions against public authorities. The arrival of Salima Budhani in May 2024 from Bindmans LLP to direct the newly formed department for civil actions against the Home Office sees an expansion of the firm’s strategic public law litigation services.
