Garden Court Chambers has been acclaimed as ‘outstanding in the field’ and for having ’a great range of barristers at all levels of experience’, and are known for representing claimants in complex administrative and human rights law cases. A ‘uniquely talented barrister’, Marc Willers KC led Ollie Persey in R (Smith) v SSHD, in which provisions in the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 regarding unauthorized traveller encampments were subjected to a declaration of incompatibility. Especially strong at the junior level, key members of the set include Bijan Hoshi, who has experience acting in appeals against the Department for Work and Pensions on behalf of benefits claimants.
