Noted for its ability to 'think innovatively' and with the 'clients' interests firmly in mind', Watkins & Gunn Limited continues to excel at representing claimants in public law challenges, where it draws upon 'a deep knowledge of how the practice and procedure of judicial reviews work'. Much of this work is for vulnerable persons as well as public interest groups, with recent highlights including its ongoing representation of Haemophilia Wales in the infected blood inquiry, as well as a considerable number of recent matters for traveller families challenging the decisions of both Welsh and English authorities for their evictions. The vastly experienced Michael Imperato and Lucy O’Brien co-head the team that has over the years gained a very strong success rate in a raft of high-profile cases.
