European Union and international

Employment barristers may appear before the International Court of Justice, the European Court of Human Rights, international tribunals and domestic courts.

Clinical negligence is a type of professional liability involving disputes between patients and healthcare providers.

Property

Property law (now sometimes labelled as ‘real estate’) embraces a wide range of work, including ‘real property’ such as contracts for sale, covenants and land registration, trusts over land; and commercial and residential tenancies involving issues as diverse as disrepair, possession claims, succession and assignment.
