Privacy and data protection claims involve assessing data use and consent, identifying breaches, engaging with data controllers, and pursuing remedies. Where required, we take action through courts or regulators to protect personal rights.

How does a judicial review human rights claim proceed?

Judicial review begins with a detailed legal assessment, followed by preparation of grounds, evidence bundles, and correspondence with public authorities. We manage the process end to end, keeping clients informed at every stage.

Do you provide support for international or cross-border human rights issues?

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.
