30 Park Place - Barristers Chambers
Background

Police Actions & Prison Law

30 Park Place provides expert legal support to individuals affected by police misconduct or failure, with considerable experience across all areas of police law.

We act for those who have been unlawfully arrested or detained, subjected to excessive force, or victims of crime failed by police.

Our barristers are known for their clear advice, considered judgement, and principled advocacy. We act almost exclusively for claimants and appear in police law cases across England and Wales.

All our barristers come to this work with a strong foundation in civil litigation, and many draw on additional experience in the criminal and administrative courts. This wider perspective allows us to offer balanced, thoughtful advice and confident representation.

30 Park Place is a truly multi-disciplinary set. Our police law barristers offer a thoughtful, collaborative approach, grounded in legal precision and practical understanding. We understand what solicitors value: timely responses, clarity on the law, and reliable support throughout the life of a case.

David Hughes is a member of the Police Action Lawyers Group and has chaired a police accountability session at the Legal Wales Conference.
