We are delighted that James will join to provide a comparative (and prescient) review of UK human rights and climate change litigation. Widely regarded as one of London’s leading planning and environmental silks, his expertise extends to high profile human rights cases in the UK Supreme Court and European Court of Human Rights on matters ranging from challenges to assisted dying laws through to cases concerning DNA and fingerprint data retention.
