Civil Liberties/Human Rights Law Practice
At Raiyad Solicitors, our Civil Liberties and Human Rights Law practice is dedicated to protecting and upholding the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals. We understand the importance of safeguarding personal liberties, especially when they are threatened by the actions of the state or other powerful entities. Our team of experienced solicitors offers a range of legal services, ensuring that individuals receive the protection they are entitled to under both domestic and international human rights law.
We provide expert legal advice and representation in cases involving breaches of civil liberties, which include issues such as unlawful detention, police misconduct, freedom of expression, and the right to a fair trial. Our team works diligently to protect the rights of individuals who may have been unfairly treated or who face unjust actions from authorities. We assist clients in challenging unlawful decisions and actions through the courts, including bringing claims under the Human Rights Act 1998, which incorporates the European Convention on Human Rights into UK law.
Challenging unlawful detention or arrest
One of the key areas we specialize in is challenging unlawful detention or arrest. We assist clients who have been detained or arrested without proper legal justification or who have been subjected to excessive force or mistreatment by law enforcement officers. In these cases, we work to ensure that our clients are compensated for any wrongful detention or mistreatment, while also pushing for systemic changes where necessary.
Discrimination and equality
Another area of focus is discrimination and equality. We represent individuals who believe they have been discriminated against based on race, religion, gender, disability, or other protected characteristics. Through legal challenges and claims under equality law, we help clients seek justice for discriminatory practices in areas such as employment, housing, education, and public services. Our approach is client-centred, ensuring that every case is handled with sensitivity, care, and a commitment to achieving the best possible outcome.
Freedom of speech and assembly
We also offer expertise in freedom of speech and assembly, helping clients to defend their rights to express themselves and participate in peaceful protests or demonstrations. In an era where government powers and surveillance technologies are expanding, it is crucial that individuals’ rights to free speech and protest are maintained. Raiyad Solicitors is dedicated to protecting these rights, ensuring that any restrictions imposed by the state are lawful, necessary, and proportionate.
Public interest litigation
In addition to providing legal representation in individual cases, we are also committed to public interest litigation, where we take on cases that have broader societal implications. Whether it’s challenging government policies that infringe on basic rights or advocating for changes in law, Raiyad Solicitors works to contribute to the advancement of human rights protections in the UK. Our practice is driven by the belief that everyone deserves access to justice, and we are committed to ensuring that the law serves the interests of fairness, equality, and freedom for all.
Our clients include individuals who have been affected by systemic issues as well as those who face specific violations of their rights. Raiyad Solicitors aims to ensure that all individuals, regardless of their background or circumstances, can access justice and fight for the protection of their civil liberties. By working with us, clients gain access to a team of dedicated solicitors who are passionate about human rights and committed to achieving justice for those whose rights have been infringed upon. Whether through litigation or strategic advocacy, Raiyad Solicitors is a trusted partner for individuals seeking to uphold their human rights and civil liberties.
