Public Law and Human Rights.
Position
Solicitor, Public Law and Human Rights
Jessie’s practice covers a wide range of judicial review work, with a focus on the protection and enforcement of the rights of disabled people and those without regularised immigration status in the UK.
She often represents families with disabled children and is successful in securing increased packages of support from their local CCG and/or local authorities. In addition, she works with unaccompanied asylum seeking children to challenge age assessments as well as with care leavers to challenge unlawful attempts to withdraw support and otherwise secure proper levels of support.
Jessie also represents clients seeking their release from immigration detention and in connected claims for compensation arising out of their unlawful detention under immigration powers.
She also often advises clients on the deletion of cautions and other connected information from their police records.
Jessie was part of the Bindmans team that won the Solicitors’ Journal Legal Aid Team of the Year Award 2016, and she assisted the Public Law solicitors in the successful procurement litigation that helped force the MoJ U-turn on criminal Legal Aid ‘dual contracts’.

Jessie joined Bindmans as a paralegal in 2015 and qualified as a solicitor in March 2018.
