Harding Evans LLP

The ‘cohesive and effective’ team at Newport-based firm Harding Evans LLP continues to develop a strong reputation for claimants bringing public law actions, particularly those linked to civil liberties and human rights. Much of this work is for vulnerable clients, who the firm is well-positioned to advise, not only due to its legal knowledge but also its ability to fund matters utilising legal aid if necessary. The ’effective and pragmatic’ Craig Court is an ‘outstanding leader of the team’ and despite his relatively junior partner status has the gravitas and expertise to handle some high-profile mandates, including his leadership role for an interested party in the ongoing Covid-19 UK Statutory Public Inquiry.
