Privately funded and Legal Aid cases are readily accepted.

Human Rights

Mannin Chambers is rare among commercial firms in being also a leading Human Rights practice, recognising that this is not self-contained but a constitutional measure of fundamental importance which takes precedence over ordinary legislation and so touches every aspect of the law, be it international, private, commercial or criminal.
