Doughty Street Chambers is a London-based law practice founded in 1990 by thirty barristers who aimed to redefine professional standards beyond the Inns of Court. The organization prioritizes justice and excellence in human rights and civil liberties through the law, striving to offer an accessible and sensitive service to a diverse client base. It handles both domestic and international human rights matters, with members permitted to appear before courts in multiple jurisdictions. The practice blends publicly funded work with private and contractual engagements, including conditional fee arrangements, Treasury Solicitor matters, mediation, CPS work, and subsidised or pro bono cases. Based in London, the chambers comprises a sizeable group of barristers with a broad practice across many areas of law. In 2026, Doughty Street International was named International Team of the Year at the LexisNexis Legal Awards, reflecting external recognition of its cross-border advocacy.
