Taylor & Kelly is one of the country’s top human rights law firms. Based in Falkirk, we have represented clients from all over Scotland and even further afield. Our main goal is to vindicate the rights of those long overlooked and often marginalised before the Courts in Scotland. We fight for those who many people view as undeserving. Many however have for too long been excluded from litigating to affirm their rights
Chambers, a highly regarded guide in the legal profession, gives Taylor & Kelly a ranking of 1 in civil liberties, which reaffirms our standing as one of the best human rights team of lawyers in the country.
