Accountability Through the Power of Law
Strategic Litigation for Social Justice and Public Accountability
Our work in strategic litigation is not just about winning cases—it is about shifting narratives, redistributing power, and holding systems to account. We use the law as a tool to challenge structural violence, catalyse reform, and stand with communities whose rights have long been denied or dismissed.
Accountability Through the Power of Law
Strategic litigation sits at the intersection of legal action and social change. At our firm, it is rooted in a clear ethic: the law must serve those most affected by injustice, not just those best positioned to access it. We file, fight, and follow through on cases that raise urgent questions about state power, discrimination, and systemic neglect. Each petition is crafted not just for the courtroom, but for the larger political and public discourse it must shape. We do not approach litigation in isolation. Each case is built in conversation with those directly impacted—whether that’s survivors of state violence, disenfranchised workers, protestors facing unlawful detention, or communities facing environmental or developmental displacement. Our legal strategies are informed by these voices and by the need to use the court not just as an arbiter, but as a forum for visibility, truth-telling, and transformation.
In matters involving public accountability, we challenge state and institutional impunity through constitutional petitions, fact-finding reports, and judicial monitoring. We seek not just compensation or relief for the affected, but structural directives—whether that means the formation of oversight committees, compliance with previous judicial orders, or institutional reforms in policing, prisons, or public institutions.
We take on cases that aim to set precedent—to push courts to expand the scope of rights and refine the standards of accountability. Whether it’s litigation on the right to protest, internet shutdowns, discriminatory bail practices, or failures in implementing welfare entitlements, we work to secure orders that are not only legally sound but socially catalytic.
Importantly, our role does not end with the judgment. We stay engaged with implementation, with follow-up filings, with public education around the outcome, and with the communities whose lives the litigation sought to change. We also work with civil society organisations, journalists, and movement lawyers to ensure the momentum created by litigation contributes to broader change.
In all our strategic litigation, we remain guided by a clear principle: the law must not only reflect the world as it is—it must imagine the world as it should be. Through carefully chosen legal battles, courageous advocacy, and relentless pursuit of structural change, we strive to make the law a site of possibility, resistance, and repair.
