Commended for its ‘breadth of expertise and experience’, Howard Kennedy LLP is best known for its mastery of media and human rights law in balancing the knife’s edge between free speech and privacy. The team focuses on high impact, precedent-setting cases, including advising international bodies, charities, and NGOs on the use and misuse of internet platforms, and visiting accountability on states non-compliant with basic human rights norms. The practice is overseen by Mark Stephens CBE, whose ’experience and aplomb’ is unmatched in the international sphere, frequently defending the freedom of expression and a range of other human rights before the ECtHR, the Privy Council, and the UN Human Rights Committee. Elizabeth Morley complements her work on the competing interests of Articles 8 and 10 with expertise on the right to a fair trial. Matthew Gill has left to Good Law Practice.
