inquiries

Members of Cloisters Chambers are regularly instructed in some of the United Kingdom's most significant public inquiries, acting for core participants, public authorities, regulators, professional bodies, employers and other interested parties.

Our barristers advise and represent clients throughout every stage of the inquiry process, from pre-inquiry engagement and disclosure exercises through to witness preparation, oral evidence, submissions and post-report proceedings. Members are recognised for combining forensic analysis with strategic judgment, enabling clients to navigate complex factual, legal and reputational issues arising in inquiries of national importance.

Our experience spans inquiries concerning public health, healthcare, local government, institutional failings, discrimination, safeguarding, policing and major incidents.
