Fiona McGhie

Work Department
Public Law and Human Rights
Position
I’m a Partner at Irwin Mitchell, specialising in civil liberties and human rights law in the Public Law & Human Rights department.
I have experience in a variety of civil liberties cases involving claims against the police and local authorities, inquest, judicial review, health and welfare and Court of Protection.
I have recently been appointed as trustee for the Public Law Project, and am a committee member for the South West Court of Protection Practitioners Association.
In October 2016 I was awarded Junior Lawyer of the Year at the Bristol Society Annual Awards.
