Testimonials

  • ‘Bhatt Murphy's admin and public law practice intersects with its civil liberties and human rights practice in terms of subject matter, but that should not eclipse the fact that the public law offering at Bhatt Murphy is exceptional, with the firm regularly bringing ground-breaking challenges across the range of public law work that impacts individual rights.’

  • ‘Janet Farrell is a great public lawyer with a real eye for test case issues. She is not afraid of going after the big points and works collaboratively with partners and her team to ensure the best possible outcome for her clients.'
