Discrimination & Equality

Overview

Cloisters is at the heart of all the major equality and discrimination cases. Our barristers play an important role in the development of law and policy in this area. We cover every aspect of discrimination and equality law and work on the most complex, high profile and high value cases as advisers and advocates.

We regularly advise and act on behalf of the Equality and Human Rights Commission. During the passage of the Equality Act 2010 we were involved in drafting amendments and briefings as well as advising several NGO and statutory bodies on the implications of the Act for future policy and practice.

Cloisters barristers also work internationally on equality and discrimination law issues, advising and drafting submissions in Europe and in international courts.
