Tim’s practice covers the full range of public law work, from commercial and regulatory matters, planning and the environment, through constitutional and EU law, local government and healthcare, to civil liberties and human rights, immigration, and social welfare.

  • Dr Laura Janes
    Using the law to make a difference Some reflections by Laura Janes They say that if you are not outraged, you are not paying attention. On outrage, attention and change Growing up, I was incensed by the injustice of the racism I saw around me where I lived in East London. The family of my local hairdresser was killed in their own home by a petrol bomb in a racist attack. My mum and I went to local anti-racist demonstrations and campaigned locally. The more I learned about the world around me, the more outrage I felt. I set up an amnesty group at school, and then university and continued to campaign on various issues. But I quickly became frustrated. It seemed to me that telling people what they should do, or not do, rarely worked. I formed the view that only the law could make people do the right thing. So I became a lawyer. Although I soon realised that the law has failed if it is only for lawyers. Law is not a secret weapon: is only effective if people know about it and it is respected. Public legal education, access to high quality legal information for ordinary people, decision makers and lawyers, is essential. Organisations like Legal Action Group, which I chair are key. 1 Why being a lawyer for change means fighting for access to justice or why I started YLAL On entering practice, I also found out that becoming a lawyer does not mean you can make a difference when you need to. There is the question of access to justice.

  • An English Song Line
    An English Songline by JAG Maw October 1986, a steamy college cellar somewhere under Cambridge. Lighting way low, amps buzzing gently, student chatter picked up by the stage mics, PA system on the edge of feedback. I was sitting on a monitor with a post-gig pint and talking rubbish to anyone prepared to listen. A bloke sidled up to Join the chat. I was immediately impressed by his leather Jacket. Not some chained-up bogus biker Job: this one had lapels. Like David Sylvian’s on the Quiet Life cover, only black. Very cool. But hang on a minute. Is that? I squinted. Out of each sleeve poked the tiny, whiskered and unmistakable face of a rat. Each would tip-toe occasionally down a thumb to sniff the air, have a rather pleased sip of beer and then disappear back into its sleeve. A Londoner taught to identify these creatures with the Plague, I raised an eyebrow. The rats were introduced to me as Sly and Robbie, and leather Jacket bloke introduced himself as a guitarist. “I think you need a new one,” he said. A new guitarist? It was hard to disagree. As the singer, I had decided that my Job was to write inscrutable lyrics and then deliver them with unshakable conviction. Musically, however, I relied on the honourable excuses of punk rock. My guitar tended to run out of ideas after five chords (that’s including the minors), and then turn into a stage prop. I went off to confer with the other band members, and told them about leather Jacket guitarist and Sly and Robbie.
