Despite its relatively small stature, Newport-based firm Harding Evans LLP has gained an elevated status in the country as a result of its claimant public law offering. Here, under the leadership of the 'sensitive and super professional' Craig Court, the team has gained particular skill at handling matters linked to civil liberties and human rights. Despite his relatively junior partner status, Court, who also has higher rights of audience, has been at the forefront of some very high-profile inquests and inquiries, including his work for Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice – Cymru at the UK Covid-19 Statutory Inquiry.
