Our commitment to promote fundamental human rights and freedoms is reflected throughout our work and embodied in our motto, ‘Do right, fear no-one’.

Our pioneering work was recognised when we won the Human Rights and Public Law Set of the Year at the Chambers Bar Awards 2016. We are ranked as a leading set for international criminal law and extradition by the Legal 500 UK Bar Guide.

Garden Court Chambers has almost 200 barristers, including 28 KCs, who are well known and respected in their fields. They bring expert understanding of international law and how to use it strategically to serve their clients most effectively.

Our international law barristers frequently work on difficult, ground-breaking cases that help to shape the law; we have experience of every major international court and tribunal; we provide expert training to other lawyers, judges and clients; and we contribute to many of the leading publications in our fields.

Many of our international law barristers undertake pro bono work for individuals or organisations who could not otherwise afford legal help.
