About
Provided by Drummond Miller LLP
A core aspect of the work that is done across the board at Drummond Miller is respecting and enabling our clients to protect their civil liberties and human rights. This is done not only through our litigation department and the specialised nature of Judicial Review but through our immigration, family and medical negligence departments.
We primarily work with individuals looking to assert or vindicate their rights but we have acted on behalf of charity organisations looking to have their views heard in particularly complex or high profile challenges to public bodies.
Laura McDonagh acts on behalf of numerous solicitors firms across Scotland as their Edinburgh agent in Judicial Review challenges to public bodies particularly in the areas of prison and housing law but also in respect of environmental challenges and issues of equality and diversity.
