Frequently Asked Questions
What does a human rights lawyer handle?
A human rights lawyer represents individuals, groups, or organisations whose fundamental freedoms have been violated. At Aldwych Legal, the human rights solicitors and barristers we work with handle cases involving discrimination, unlawful detention, and state accountability — providing strategic legal advice and representation before domestic and international courts.
Can I challenge an unfair public decision?
Yes. The civil liberties solicitors we work with regularly bring judicial review proceedings where public authorities act unlawfully or disproportionately. We assess the legal merits, gather evidence, and prepare persuasive submissions to ensure your rights are effectively defended under both domestic and international human rights law.
How do you manage international cases?
What violations can I challenge?
How are civil liberties different?
Human rights are internationally recognised freedoms, while civil liberties relate to domestic protections such as free speech, fair trial, and privacy. Our civil rights lawyers, together with the human rights barristers we work with, provide advice across both areas to ensure comprehensive protection of your legal rights.
What proof do I need for a claim?
Strong documentation is essential. This may include official correspondence, witness statements, and expert reports. The human rights solicitors we work with assess all evidence, identify gaps, and build a well-supported claim capable of withstanding judicial or tribunal scrutiny.

Should a website visitor seek to ascertain the nature of our establishment, Aldwych Legal, it becomes essential for us to clarify the intricacies of our professional classification. Aldwych Legal is a legal consultancy, not a traditional solicitors’ firm. As an international legal consultancy and legal support organisation, we position ourselves distinctly apart from the conventional categorisation of a regulated solicitors’ practice. It is of paramount importance to transparently disclose that Aldwych Legal’s operational framework and support services remain independent of regulatory supervision by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and the Bar Standards Board (BSB). Our multidisciplinary team consists of legally trained professionals who operate within the framework of unreserved legal activities permitted under the Legal Services Act 2007. Where a matter requires a reserved legal activity, we collaborate with, and where appropriate introduce clients to, carefully selected external solicitors and barristers from our professional network. These regulated practitioners operate under their own authorisation and regulatory obligations. Aldwych Legal continues to deliver high-calibre legal support, strategic advisory work, and comprehensive case preparation with the same diligence and rigour expected of any premier legal service provider, while maintaining full transparency regarding our regulatory status. For full details of our regulatory status and operating framework, please refer to our Legal Services Act 2007 page and our Terms & Conditions.
