We are thrilled to announce our remarkable success at the Modern Law Awards 2024, where Duncan Lewis Solicitors has secured three prestigious awards 🎊🙌 #MLAwards24 Duncan Lewis has proudly accepted the titles of Outstanding Case of the Year, Pro-bono Team of the Year and Lawyer of the Year, marking a momentous occasion for our firm. In selecting our firm for the Outstanding Case of the Year title, the judges commended the extraordinary efforts displayed by our Public Law team in what can only be described as the most important immigration and asylum-related claim of the year: the Rwanda Supreme Court victory. This recognition is a testament to the dedication shown by Toufique Hossain, Lewis Kett, Nicholas Hughes, Simon Robinson, Manini Menon, Jennifer Matthews, Sophie Lucas and Sheroy Zaq, who were instructed in this case. We extend our congratulations to Solicitor Shalini Patel for her remarkable achievement in securing the distinguished Lawyer of the Year title. Shalini’s outstanding commitment to effecting systemic change, aimed at diminishing the prevalence of trafficking and enhancing the rights and entitlements of trafficking survivors, garnered well-deserved recognition from the judges. The company is equally thrilled to have received the honour of being awarded Pro Bono Team of the Year. This dedication manifests in our unwavering support for the underprivileged, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their background or circ*mstances, has access to top-tier legal services. The Pro Bono Award was collected by the Head of our Pro Bono Committee, Emine Mehmet, who runs 10 pro bono surgeries in her Family & Child Care team alone. We are incredibly honoured to receive such outstanding recognition and would like to thank the Modern Law Awards for hosting a truly memorable night!

In a significant legal victory, the Administrative Court ruled in favour of Duncan Lewis clients in a case that challenged the legality of the UK government's extensive use of electronic monitoring ("tagging") for immigrants, involving GPS devices, imposing round-the-clock surveillance on individuals through the collection and retention of locational (“trail”) data. The claim highlighted imposition of GPS tracking was disproportionate in the case of vulnerable individuals, including those with severe mental and physical health issues, as well as survivors of torture and trafficking, exacerbating their distress. Full case details here: https://buff.ly/4bjgTOH The Claimants were represented by Ahmed Aydeed, Conor Lamb, Lily Parrott and Natalie Hawes, of the Duncan Lewis Public Law team. Counsel instructed are Chris Buttler KC, Aidan Wills and Rosalind Comyn of Matrix Chambers, as well as Karen Staunton of 4 King’s Bench Walk (4KBW). The Claimants and their representatives wish to express gratitude in particular to Privacy International, Bail for Immigration Detainees (BID), and the Helen Bamber Foundation for their invaluable input to the claim.#gps #governmentsurveillance #publiclaw #duncanlewis #gpstracking #secretaryofstate
