Hamish McCallum

We are delighted to announce that Hamish McCallum has joined Garden Court North Chambers.

Hamish specialises in Protest Rights, Inquests & Public Inquiries, and Public Law.

He has acted for many high-profile organisations in protest cases involving environmental issues, human rights, animal rights, and civil liberties.

On joining GCN, Hamish said: “I am thrilled to be joining GCN in order to continue growing my practice in Protest Rights, Public Law and Inquests and Public Inquiries.
