‘The entire public law and human rights team at Simpson Millar is very shrewd. They will take a case that is of concern to a client, and not only apply their all but do so in a way that pushes and breaks boundaries within the public law field. It is a pleasure to be instructed by them; they bring so much to the table.’
‘The Simpson Millar human rights and public law team are devoted to what they do, take on the difficult cases, and support the most vulnerable of clients. They deserve all the praise going.’
