If nothing is done about this report either,
If this govt does not hire out the entire human rights legal team from Clifford Chance and drag Turkeys ass through every court and every newspaper and Cable news channel then we deserve what we get.
If this report of slaughtering 320 POW's with bayonnets is brushed under the carpet then he shouldn't be surprised if he sees
χριστοφια προδοτη καταδοτη
written on the Presidential Palace wall.
Small point : Clifford Chance don't do human rights. (Probably not enough money in it
)
Apologies...any of the other magic circle firms then.
Probably not. Seriously, human rights is a mug's game if you're a lawyer who's in for the money. Long, complicated and risky issues where your client is likely to be penniless, is not the way to riches compared with mind-numbing, money-for-old-rope, commercial law. The so-called 'magic circle' law firms are exclusively commercial law firms.
In the UK the most prominent law firms in the field of human rights (and civil liberties) are relatively small practices, at most having a couple of dozen partners (compared with hundreds of partners in the commercial law firms). Possibly amongst the best in UK are Stephens Innocent, Bindmans, Birnberg Pierce, Hickman & Rose, Imran Khan ....
